Pedestal Drill - buying guide for used equipment
I've got way too many hand drills of different flavours, but I am currently looking to get a pedestal drill for the shed. New is out of price range, so looking at used items.
Chasing advice on what to look out for when evaluating old iron.
My price range would be sub $400, which is most of the modern non branded stuff out there in the usual getting spots. Need to weed out the worth buying from the 'avoid like all hell'.
My list so far is:
-Overall condition- paint/cracks in castings, electrical condition etc
-Pulley condition, belt condition
-Bearing noise in motor / spindle
-runout/wandering of the bit
... ?
