Are you using the FBS-240E or the 12v version in the
MB140/S ?, am thinking of getting the FBS-240E

Also i note that the stand has a fence across the width of the
base, can the fence be moved to the back of the base to allow
larger pcb to be drilled ?

Do you think that this drill\stand combination is good for
using tungsten carbide bits ?
