I want to learn how to drill my own stuff, so I'd like to know where everyone goes to buy their presses and etc.

Thanks!

Just a couple days ago somebody on this forum had a Jet Drill, Jig and Innovative Spinner for $1200, or, $1350 shipped. I know this is over your budget but I just thought I'd mention it.

'HARD' work is good for the soul

sorry for the multiple posts... each time I entered it I got an error message from the sites server so I assumed it didn't go through. Sorry again  

Good luck finding something for $500.  If you are lucky, you can find a used jig for $300-500.  You should be able to use a standard 16" drill press - probably at least 3/4 hp, and at least 4" spindle travel.

Depending on your location, you might be able to find something on ebay. Most sellers don't/won't ship, so it's usually local pickup.  There were a few on there recently in Washington state, and one in Iowa.  Honestly, if something is on ebay, people from this site will bid it up higher than $500.


Jayhawk sells all the equipment - you can contact them for the price list - http://www.jayhawkbowling.com  

This was the cheapest thing on the price list dated 6-15-06.

Trim Man - that's not me.  I'm from Dallas, Texas.  Not sure what the point of your post was, however, it especially wasn't on topic.

It seems my $500ish budget isn't legitimate, I did however get with a local pro-shop owner who has said he'd let me learn on his machine, so I suppose this cures my curiousity for now.

Thanks for the replies..
