Preac Drill press with X-Y table

[Nirvana]

I was reading some old Ships in Scale tonight, dated back to 2002 and found an ad for Preac's X-Y Table.

So I "binged" it and found the table in combination with their Drill press and variable speed control for 1000 dollars.

Sure it is a lot of money, but looking into the tech's it is a perfect modeling machine.

Go to this website and you will see it.

Sorry for the link, seems like NatureCoast doesn't have the unit available online, further investigation will happen.

Thank you

Preac is long-since out of business. The owner is dead. So if you ever found one, it would be used.

 

If you really want to spend that kind of money on a drill press (unnecessary IMHO) check out jewelers precision drill presses such as this one -

If it's just an expensive X-Y table you're looking for, Sherline makes one for about $725 - https://www.sherlinedirect.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=1239&CFID=101121073&CFTOKEN=41016624

but I think before I bought one of those, I'd just buy an entire vertical mill. That would be way more useful I think.

 

The Proxxon X-Y table for about $100 really isn't bad. It is limited in its movement though.

 

Cheers -
