Is that a serious question?
Do you really think they make the tools interchangeable?

I would not go for this proxxon model, it is the worst of the lot
because it comes with a jacobs type chuck rather than collets.
You can buy the hardened steel collets separately, but I don't know if
the unit is then as good in terms of runout as the others.

Instead I would recommend one of the following:
<http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/28481.php?list>
<http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/28485.php?list>
<http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/28440.php?list>
(Note that these are 230V models and you might have to find the 115V version).


Even the 12V Micromot units are easily powerful enough for PCB
drilling, and generally less than half the cost.
<http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/28500.php?list>
<http://www.proxxon.com/en/micromot/28512.php?list>

I have a separate 12V micromot in the PCB drill press, because I got
tired of taking out the IB/E to use it for other tasks.
