no england won't help, thanks.
i'm here in austria and even germany would be expensive shipping from.
i also want to build such a drill myself (i have already bought a eur100
proxxon motor).
why i asked for that "camera conversion reason":
you wrote existing optical systems were replaced with camera and monitor
units.
i found that a bit confusing because i see no reason.
i understand building a camera system is easier than building a full
optical (from nothing).
but i see still no reason for converting a optcal viewer to a camera....
but a camera system may also be placed below the desk, allowing standard
pivoting drill press arm on top and easy drill bit change
from top.
but you would have to keep the lens from collecting dust (compressed air
jet or so)
