have to agree , drill may not have enough power or can over heat ...

I just can't handle the prices some machine shops does want to charge to do simple bushing work.. I would rather use the same money and invest it in tools and do the job myself. I have built crude DIY 'lathes' in the past to build custom bushes to mount radiators etc.. Like this for example:



Amazon also has a small hobby lathe, cheap design using a drill and a small frame to hold it:

Grizzly H2669 Hobby Lathe/Disc Sander
Price: $88.61

I understand the side load and excessive run out issues, but I am stubborn too bad, have strong faith in my Milwaukee and would use it for mostly bushing making, so i figure it is worth a gamble.. (in the future, if this shows decent potential, I could always bearing mount the chuck to reduce runout, and create a dampered drive system powered by the drill..)

I will continue researching chucks and update on how this works out.

Regarding the chuck capacity...the chuck can hold work with both in inside of the jaws and the outside of the jaws...thats what those little steps are for on the outer jaws. Independent jaw chucks are very nice for precision work where you would use a dial test indicator to adjust each jaw for minimum runout. Once u learn to dial in a independent jaw chuck it becomes second nature.

iFixit has a excellent set. Got mine a few years ago for 80US still here. The bits are a little on the soft side but aye I rather strip a bit that a small screw. Once you not over tightening, it won't be an issue.

buying online and sea freighting in... Yup! but DON'T buy "new". "Surplus" or "used" on eBay (or Amazon) FTW
Don't know what current local prices are like... but when I bought 4 ebay Cabinets a few years ago, the cheaper ones were 1/5 to 1/4 of local prices... & much better quality too.
Link--> THE ASYLUM!... Workshops & Tools for DIY Madmen - page 2.
eg. 52", 12-drawer Kennedy Maintenance Pro = $600 US (66% lower than US retail.) New today = $2700-3600 US!

Forget "local"... Except for gov't contracts etc., nobody would import that quality for the local retail market.

BTW check 'Page 1' in the link for "drill-press" prices...

IMHO DON'T HURRY. Troll ebay. Bargains may take awhile... but they do turn up.

As we on the vehicle talk fellas, I'm looking for a good quality 12 volt tyre inflator, any suggestions as to brand/type/price? I'm seeing a few of them but I'm not sure of the build quality and they kinda on the cheap side and in my past experiences with buying tools, cheap ting no good...

Viair 88P Portable Air Compressor get one of these and call it a day, the cheap ones work ok for a tire low on air. But when it really counts the firetruck thing could let you down, so been there and done that sheit.
