rill – A DIY Staple


workshop for a week or so, mounted on a thick piece of ply that I could fix into the bench vice. Since it weighs only 16.5Kgs it is relatively easy to move and store and I liked the flexibility that this arrangement afforded me. With its very


competitive pricing and decent capacities this little bench drill is an ideal tool for a DIYer’s shed. It also has a few features that others in this price category don’t have like the NVR switch mounted on the front of the machine – always a good feature to ensure safety. It would definitely enhance skills and repay imaginative and accurate use.


telephone 01444 440188 110v sander from Mirka


makes light work of sanding A new lightweight 110 volt sander is being launched by abrasives specialist Mirka, enabling builders and construction workers to sand on site effectively. The 110v DEROS comes as standard in a yellow Mirka case with 125mm and


150mm backing pads. A Deco Solution Kit is also available and includes the standard 110v DEROS sander plus a four metre hose and a variety of the patented Abranet 150mm discs in packs of 10. The DEROS sander plugs into a 110v power supply allowing users to meet site


regulations. It is suitable for multiple sanding operations delivering a rapid, economical, consistently powerful performance comparable to a conventional 500W electric machine, even under heavy load. The sander has a ‘closed construction’ which prevents dust from entering the motor, avoiding typical wear and tear damage experienced by electric machines, prolonging its lifespan and making it low maintenance. DEROS’ long body


encompasses a two-hand ergonomic grip effective for heavy sanding applications, minimising vibration levels and reducing arm fatigue, which decreases the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome. The sander also has a soft


start function, a built-in electronic motor brake and a smooth, easy to operate level to control and maintain a constant motor speed. An innovative backing pad acts like a seal to minimise air leakage between the pad and the shroud, making dust extraction more efficient. For further information,
