No worries

Thank you for this Matt....I just got one of these and was a little perplexed by the mechanism...your video did help a lot! Nice little drill, very accurate and I imagine quite handy for very small precise tasks like model engineering or jewellers work.

Glad it helped, cheers

Wonderful tool, just wonder what’s the maximum drill bit size it would receive?

[@mattsbitsnbobsworkshop]

I wouldn't go above 1/4" personally.

I restored one recently which is very similar in design to this one, except it's much larger. Has an Ixion name plate on it. Hope this helps in your search for more info.
