Table Drill Comparison: Bass Polska 300W vs Parkside PTBM 500 for Hobby Work in Steel Profiles

I have a dilemma which drill to choose from the topic.
For hobby work. I plan to make a few fi8-10 holes in steel profiles, 2-3 mm thick.
Maybe someone will comment on quality, accuracy, spare parts, etc.
The power is known to be great in both cases.
Please forgive yourself the offer to buy a table drill, e.g. ws15.16. Not this price range.

An ordinary handheld (portable) drill is not enough for several holes ? 8-10 mm?

Down several holes are you going to buy a bench drill?

I want to drill profiles, e.g. 40x20x3
They must be reasonably precise as to the distance between them. Later they will be vertical and the other two will be connected to them to form a movable connection.
I honestly thought about this solution.

I still do not understand. With a table drill you achieve axial precision of the drill guide in relation to the material.
The accuracy of the distance between the holes depends mainly on the marking and marking, not the type and quality of the drill.

And this is probably the essence of the purchase, because sometimes it is difficult to guide a hand drill exactly vertically or horizontally through the material being drilled.
If I had to make a few precise holes in several elements, I would either use a stationary drill from a friend (if I don't have mine), or I would be tempted to make a template so that the repeatability of the holes is accurate.

Hello

There was already a similar topic.

For this you can use http://dargan.pl/artykuly-rozne/478-przystawka-do-wieroszenia-pionowego.html
but the key is to accurately trace and point.

If we call the first (leading) hole at a different distance than the second (leading) hole in a given place of the closed profile in relation to the previous hole drilled elsewhere in the profile, it will not be axially guided, the drill and the drill will not be perpendicular. That's the main point. Drill attachments? I've been wondering about that. However, on narrow profiles, I don't know if they will work. Back to the topic. Do you have experience with the described models?

Welcome.

Everything in this price range is similar Chinese, they differ in clothes, power and price, the quality is similar.

Take into account the power, the depth of the quill extension, the weight of the entire clipper (the heavier the better), and be mentally prepared for improving the manufacturer

They are suitable for hobby work, you need to learn how to use them, because you will not unpack, put together and drill.

What will certainly be improved is supporting the table on a vise, under pressure it will bend and the hole will not be perpendicular.

You can buy a cross vise and put it on the base of the drill, this way you will eliminate the deflection of the table but not the column on which the body is attached

In fact, it should be a separate field of modeling - the use of modern metalworking tools
