Here it is - obviously made in China, but so are these Ali cases so I thought they would be compatible...

It was only around $80 and I'm quite impressed with the build quality considering the price. The plastic vice clamp that comes with it isn't as good though, so I made up a simple clamp out of some straight wood blocks which is very sturdy and allows me to hold it firmly when lowering the drill.

That’s a good setup! I’ve been drilling with my Dremel but need something more sturdy, I need to pick one of those up.

I have this one:

Seems to be more convenient with variable speed and a basis to fix a XY table or a small wrench.
Cons: there is few space left once you add a XY table.

Type D is loading..

Maybe some more patina on hands should be considered?

Of course a crown tube and adequate stem shortening are planned.

Could'nt get used to destro, turned it into regular, aged and painted dial, hands and case and good to go.

Batoon dial where it should be.




Almost done here.

Merry Christmas to all HF family!
