Hi,
I like the idea of a fixed base / moveable bit pillar drill. Mostly so you can have a big fixed height table around it. Also with gears or variable speed control to avoid all that clumsy belt change stuff. But I would also like an MT2 or similar spindle so I can use a tapmatic.
There's the Bosch PBD 40, and I see, for example, the EKS 18 & 25 drills here:
https://www.erlogroup.com/en/iberdri...series-drills/
... but none of those have a MT2. There's e.g. the Nova Vulcan with variable speed and MT3 (moveable table rather than movable bit):
https://www.teknatool.com/product/vulcan/
... but the reviews suggest the build quality isn't very good.
I like the idea of a bit of innovation instead of the belts and pulleys stuff that's been going on for the last 100 years or so. So, anyone know of a good 'fixed base / movable bit (or maybe geared head)' drill with a morse taper quill?
Second question. It just occurred to me that a 'Mill Drill' would fit the bill. Any reason why I would prefer a pillar drill instead of a 'Mill Drill'?
TIA, Alan

search for a radial arm drill. I think that's what you are after

Well I see what you mean e.g.
https://www.axminstertools.com/axmin...l-drill-106006
- movable bit and MT2 but still belt drive. Wow, there are some crazy big and heavy versions of radial drills for brute-metal working...

Maybe a magdrill and a source of magnetic wood would work for me? :)
