After missing for 2 or 3 times the opportunity to grab a bench pillar drill from Lidl, I finally got one. This time they had an electronic speed control model Parkside PTBMOD-710-A1 for €79.99
I'm no pro needing this stuff, so knowing that I could get one 500w bench pillar drill from Lidl costing €75, when I saw 350W models on other stores costing more than €100, I just told to myself that the best deal for my limited needs was to grab one from Lidl. Well, they weren't selling a 500w belt driven this time, but a 710W electronic controlled instead. So I grab what they had.
The first impression is... well the laser is far from accurate. The old models didn't had one, so I supposed that if I "memorise" the displacement, it could be of some use anyway. The accuracy of the drill along the column itself seem very good, with no noticeable wobbling. The handle on the other side, could be better. Gets a bit stuck when returns up, and I'd prefer the old style with 3 handles 120º apart.
Haven't done more than a few holes on wood, I can't say much more. There's videos on YouTube with some detail, though some are not in English.
For casual works, and for the price, it sure will be an improvement over my drill on a column, with not much precision, speed control or accuracy.
