Approx weight of pillar drill

[Powermyster]

Hi guy,

I'm looking at a couple of pillar drills on eBay. Any ideas on an approximate weight for a single phase meddings pillar drill vs single phase fobco bench drill.

I know it won't be exact. I need a couple of best guesses for courier costs

Heavy and Very Heavy depending on machine spec.........

A progress No1 bench drill is 115 Kg, the floor-standing version is 146Kg. There's one for sale here for comparison

You need to be specific really, I have pillar drill between about 60kg and the best part of a tonne...

Main post diameter is a big factor, as is the scale of the table and main foot. If its geared or semi-geared add some for that. etc etc.

Typical smallish drill about 150kg ish. Most normal-looking non-geared drills can be shifted by two people pretty easily.

A cheapo Draper or similar pillar drill is relatively light - 18kg.
