Title: Best place to buy a ball-drilling setup?
Post by: inslyx on November 25, 2006, 12:02:47 PM: 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!

Post by: inslyx on November 25, 2006, 08:36:23 PM: By the way, I'm not rich or anything, so I'd LIKE to keep it around $500 or less, but I'll see what I can do..

Thanks again.

Used Jigs are like 250 to 300 pre ship. Drill presses used like 300.
Shipping up to 300! That does not include drill bits.

I've heard of guys getting them when Kmart went under for about $350.

Post by: RealBowler on November 27, 2006, 08:14:24 AM: 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.

15-1180 Mini Jig W/Jet Press (110/60) 1950.00

Post by: inslyx on December 04, 2006, 03:45:50 AM: 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..
