Preac Drill press with X-Y table


Recommended Posts

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.

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 -

John
