bartpix 31 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Anybody have an idea where I could get one of the above? It is just for light occasional work, so second-hand would be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

bartpix 31 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Thanx for the reply, but neither Thai Wadsadu, HomePro or Baan and Beyond in Pattaya keep Drill Presses. And certainly not second-hand versions. Link to post Share on other sites
Crossy 26,979 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I'm surprised that Thai Watsadu didn't have them, how about Global House? Lazada have many suitable for light duty although ours came from MegaHome where it was on offer, IIRC 1,500 Baht. At this price it's not worth looking at used machines. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sl-13drill-press-diy-i405378714-s786654952.html We are assuming you mean something like this:- Link to post Share on other sites

bartpix 31 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thanks for the reply. Yes, similar to the above. I think the closest Megahome is in Ban Chang. Will have a look there. Link to post Share on other sites
bartpix 31 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Thanks Sometimewoodworker, I was thinking more about a Baht 2,000 odd machine. It would be only for occasional use. Link to post Share on other sites

If I am not wrong I saw at least one in Global House, one in a local store and... Link to post Share on other sites
bartpix 31 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Have had a look in a couple of "Mom&Pop" hardware stores along Sukhumvit without success. The closest Global House is Chonburi - I'm in Najomtien - so I'll try Megahome in Ban Chang first. Link to post Share on other sites
notrub 124 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I too am looking at small drill press tools. I like the look of the OKURA YD-13P (about 2000 baht) as it is Japanese made(?) I think. Get the largest size chuck (not 1/4") and be sure there are belts to regulate the speed. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

NanLaew 22,592 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 ^ Yes, Hardware House would have been my first pick. Up in Udon, we are blessed with a huge barn of a place called DoHome (Ubon Watsadu) where, if you are inclined, you can buy the steel stock, pins, guides, cranks, shafts, belts, motors and all the rest and custom-build your own drill press. But they also have a vast selection of drill presses of all sizes and budgets to-go. Link to post Share on other sites
