billymac814 Report post Posted February 20, 2013 Nice work on this man! I've been thinking hard on how to go about moving my burnisher from my cordless drill to a more hands free setup. This is great! Now to hunt for a used motor. Side note: Thanks for the info on your shop press mod. I got mine all squared away yesterday and can't wait to start using it. Need to get my dies made up. Thanks, Andy Glad to hear the press is working out. Motors are pretty easy to come by, I'd definitely try to find one with mounting brackets, most do but this one happened to not and I was too impatient to wait any longer and I thought the bracket from my other one might work but it didn't. On my old set up I had a foot control so it was really hands free, I didn't put it on this because the one I have is a momentary switch, I may get a latching one and use it. Using a cordless drill sounds like a bit of a pain. I originally used a drill press then just a motor. When I burned up the first motor I did use a drill for a little while but I had a bracket that mounted it to a bench and I used the foot control and it worked ok, it was obviously a corded type drill though. You could always stick your drill in a vise in the mean time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't realize you lived in the UK until I seem it mentioned in another topic its no wonder you like tea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
needles Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I am hoping one day within the next couple of decades to be able to travel over on holiday, so you never know. and I'm doing well on the health front, I've cut down on my tea habit a bit, i'm down to about a gallon of tea a day, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
