Saw that video. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Does look interesting but why not just buy a $100 Princess Auto mini drill press.

Depends what your doing with the drill I guess, the princess auto drill probly doesn't go past 10k rpm so any drill bits under 1/16 is probly not recommended. Also runout becomes an issue I would think with low quality bearings/spindle design.

I don't usually drill anything smaller then 1/8 so I don't have any use for micro drill but they are neat none the less.

Ah. Watched it. Didn't understand that he filled the forms with cement. Much more stable. Not sure his moving table is stable enough. Might be why he broke the drill bit. Still... interesting project.
