This is not AFAIK meant for PCB work. It's for general-purpose work.

I use drill stand MB 140/S (NO 28606)  + IB/E drill/grinder  ( NO 28481).

Drill stand has extra bolt for elimination of air gap and it's very precise.
IB/E drill unit has high yuality bearings and can achieve high rpms, 
needed for PCB drilling with hard drill bits.

Regards,

Branko
