I've never waited so long for a BG delivery: Almost 2 months! But then again it probably took a while to develop that intricate cocoon packaging ...
The DC drill press looks jazzy, the power supply feels like a Kinder surprise egg, but actually lives up to its spec for a few minutes. I had expected the LED display to show RPM instead of voltage.
That obviously needs to be replaced with an adjustable voltage regulator or even a BLDC + driver?
It feels pretty good now, but the spindle is a steel tube sliding in an aluminium block, that's no good. If the steel tube happens to have a suitable diameter, it could be possible to put it in a round linear bearing block.
