Hi,
I need to do some vertical drilling for various projects, and I need either
a drill stand (for £18) which I could place my drill, OR a pillar drill (for
£30)
I am unsure which is better,
Sammy

You may have better luck then I did, but I tried 2 different models of
drill stands that friends had, with 3 different drills...
None of my drills really fit the holders very well and I had a lot of
alignment problems... never did get a really reliable,
square-to-the-surface hole drilled with them...
If the drill press/pillar drill is affordable, I'd suggest giving it a
go... not only more durable and precise, but you get to use your drill
for other jobs.. YMMV

Depends on their construction of course, but generally speaking a pillar
drill (drill press to us yanks) is going to be more robust and precise.
