Brobo Waldown 3M precision drill
Got this home last Friday, saved it from being scrapped. 3 days of rain= 3 days of hard grease cleanning, rust removal, dissassembly, then preassembly. .
Replace the motor , VFD , Bracket , wiring . Etc. New belt. Certainly worth all the trouble.

SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

Original motor has 1400 rpm. I got a 2800 rpm 3/4 hp. Crompton motor, set the belt at A2 which is originally 1800 rpm. So max speed is approx 3600 which is just a little faster than the original 3000 rpm max .. just perfect for buffing, wire brushing, even drum sander for wood. Also tried the tapping attachment at low speed on M10 , worked well, and the pipe notcher attachement .
