Here's one going cheap.

OK, £2.70 (so far) certainly counts as cheap!

Maybe I should try the T4 (as a compromise) to see if the low speed torque is any better. Coming with collets is a definite benefit because the Kress ones seem to be £15+ each!

Decisions decisions....

All of them suffer at their lowest speeds, Again watch out for the crazy trend 42mm collar! Bastards!!!!!!!!

Are you not local to me Tom?

Your welcome to have a look at the T3, Cant knock it other than noise. Seems to cut 10mm ally plate okay!!! (1mm step depth with 3mm slot drill at 1000mm per min)

Lester Caine does a decent line in Kress gear.

Just bought some collets and nuts off him to save changing the collet over in the nut. Well I would have done if I'd collected them at Harrogate and he was on the stand opposite me all show DUH!!
