Hi
A few years ago I bought a Pollard made in Leicester corona high speed drill at an auction. It is a small bench drill very heavily built. probably weights 60 kg
The trouble is it has a 2850rpm motor fitted which means the minimum chuck speed is about 11400 rpm and the maximum speed is near to 15000.
Does this sound right?
I do not know what, other than PCB's what you would drill at those speeds.
I am thinking of changing the gearing to bring is down to about 4000 and 5000 rpm and add an electrical speed control giving a speed range of 2000 to 5000
Which I could use for drilling holes below 1mm in metal probably.
Has any one know what these were used for originally? or know anything about this drill I have searched the www and found nothing.
Thanks in advance for your comments?
