Has anyone here tried the import models of mag base drills? The cheapest name brand ones start at $1200, if someone was paying me to punch holes all day it would be easy to justify the expense. I'm needing to mount some vices, hole pattern on the Wiltons does not match the old import pattern. I've looked at the used mag drills, just an old Bux magnetic base is bringing more than a whole import model. So I'm contemplating a $289, with annular cutters, import model, there are a few vids on yt of fresh out of box units, wondering how long they last.
I drilled the holes in the workbenches (1/4" plate) 30 years ago with a Makita 1/2" drill, not sure I could do it again today. If nothing else $289 is cheaper than a wrist rebuild.
