Hi,
I have one of those for general DIY stuff.
It's NOT suitable for pcb drilling. The thing vibrates a LOT at the higher
speeds and will easily break any drill below 1.5-2mm in diameter. Also, it's
rpm is only about 2000 to 2500 max. Not suitable at all for fiber glass and
tungsten carbide. Besides, to change the speeds you have to open it's top
and change the belt from one pulley to another pulley manually. It's cheap,
but it's only for general, low precision stuff.
Best,
Nuno Tavares
