I was just wondering what has happened to Minicraft Power Tools? I have a little lathe set up from them and a drill press. Because it is such a pain in the proverbial to dismount the drill from the lathe and set it up in the press, I wanted to buy another drill. Everywhere I have looked they seem to be out of stock or just plain not available.
Does anyone have any ideas or at least point in the direction of a drill that will fit my old MB540 Precision Vertical Drill Stand or where I can get another MB1012 or similiar drill? I've looked at Proxxon Tools but they are really stretching the budget and I'm not sure they'll fit. Plus I have the MB730 variable speed transformer so something that would fit that would be a bonus as well. Tried Ebay, no luck
TIA, John
