I bought an Axminster trade drill 3 weeks ago.
I spent a few weeks setting it up and waiting for a XY vice to arrive.
When I first used it after 3 holes my power went off in my workshop.
It had not tripped anything and I assumed it was a problem with the cable so had it renewed.
So tonight was the first time with the new cable in place.
I drilled 3 x 6mm holes in some 3mm steel and it was really struggling, it kept on slowing down to zero!
Then when I touched the motor it was red hot and now it wont turn at all and just hummed.
Seems like a bad one?
