Score: 88/100
Berxol Mini Drill Press
Score: 60/100Rankings
The Proxxon TBM 115 is a compact, precision bench drill press designed for micro-hole drilling down to 0.5 mm, featuring a three-speed belt drive for high torque at low speeds. It is ideal for hobbyists and model makers requiring exceptional spindle accuracy and repeatable depth control for small-scale tasks. While it excels in precision, it lacks the power and capacity for heavy-duty applications.
The BERXOL Mini Drill Press is a compact, portable tool powered by a 100W DC motor, ideal for jewelry making and small DIY projects. It offers high speeds up to 8500 RPM but is limited by its low power and 1/8 inch steel drilling capacity. It is best suited for hobbyists needing precision in small spaces.
