- This is the follow up video to the parkside bench pillar drill build. which can be found here - • Parkside - LIDL 500w C...
Having had the time to use this drill for the required tasks this review i purely based on my experiences of using it and not a straight out of the box review.
Yes I know the belts are not aligned, was doing the belts whilst looking through the camera. This was noticed in the video edit, and sorted afterwards

for all who see a bit of wobble in the drill press when you use it for the first time, there is a nut behind the emergency stop button that allows you to reduce any play in the spindle. You will have to remove the emergency stop button to access it, but its quite simple to remove. one small front facing screw, followed by two nuts inside the stop button housing. make sure its unplugged before attempting this... "you go into lidl for milk and you come out with a drill press"
Great comment buddy, thanks
Thanks for your review, good list of pros and cons you found with your time owning it. Keep up the good work on your vids! Very easy to watch and informative
+Rob Behler Thank you very much Rob, glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks m8 good review!
Thank you. I want a pillar drill the thing that puts me off the sub £100 models is the lack of power, but this one seems to have plenty.
Thank you for the video James, it makes a change to be able to see one on the Parkside/Lidl tools, that's in English.
I also brought one of these & haven't had the chance to use it much, but what for what I have, I am more than satisfied for the price I paid. Also, I agree with the belt changing facility & find mine a bit tedious, when trying to alter it, but like yourself, I got there in the end.
Once again, thank you & I'm going to subscribe, as I hope you will post some more ideas on here, as I found this brief, but to the point & well produced.
Kind regards,
Glyn (Cornwall)
Glyn Bryant thank you Glyn for the wonderful message and subscribing. I didn't want to drone on to much so thought I'd just film the basics. I have was using it the other day and it wouldn't drill any wood once pressure was applied. I opened it up and found the front belt pully grub screw had become loose, and was there for floating on the shaft. I removed the grub screw and applied some thread lock to it and secured it in place. Maybe worth checking on yours? Thanks again, regards, James
That's good to know James, I'll bare it in mind, because it's packed away at the moment, as we are moving house soon.
Thanks again & best wishes.
Glyn
thanks for the review. it's very clear and helpful I might go over to lidl and buy one now.
Take your time setting it up, and I think you will be very happy with it
Thank you for your honest opinion and clear explanation.
Thanks very much for this useful review. I've just bought one of these pillar drills at Lidl, Colwyn Bay for £60. Looking forward to trying it.
No problem Peter, I was in 2 minds before I bought it, wouldn't be without it now
You poor thing
Thank you so much.. I've a similar drill which for the last 10 years was very slow... I'm gonna check if I can change the speed 😊
Jigsey's Workshop great, glad this has been of some help to you
Like its owner
Hi James now you could make a video on opening and putting together the Parkside Bench Pillar Drill. Congratulations on a well put together cis. Here's to your business growing on home education. Linda Pow
I have just bought a new one from Lidl and it appears to have vast improvements on the older model. Lever and locking nut to adjust belts, lazer cross hairs for pinpoint accuracy. The 3 levers seem to be sturdy as well. I would recommend this as a good DIY drill press.
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. Yes there have been some good upgrades on the new one, but the biggest downgrade for me is the chuck size. My drill I think can take up to a 26mm drill bit. Where as the new version can only take a 13mm drill bit. Fine if you only want to make small holes, but I've used bigger drill bits then 13mm a few times
@@JamesManCave Hi, the max drill bit size is 16mm. If you you need to drill bigger holes I suppose you could always replace the chuck with one that can take bigger drill bits.
I have a Record Power (Made in England) DMS 26 pillar or stand to which I can attach any kind of drill. It is heavy, sturdy and robust, and steady as a rock when bolted down, and very accurate as a consequence. There is practically nothing that can go wrong with it. I have been using it for over twenty years and certainly would not change it for a toy pillar drill. This should be helpful to some.
Cheers James. Good review for a first time buyer like me.
I got one 18 months ago, and use it almost every day. I'll be buying a better pillar drill in the near future, but that's only because I need a drill with a longer duty cycle, and I'll be keeping my parkside as a back up as it's served me well.
It's really not a bad drill for the money is it. I've used mine loads, even turned it into a lathe once, does everything I ask of it
@@JamesManCave Agreed, keep up the good work with the vids.
You shouldn't put the belt in diagonal. It will wear out extremely fast. that's why you have multiple slots, to be able to adapt the speed.
Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN this I know, because I was doing it through looking through the view finder on the camera I didn't notice it till after I had filmed it. I then set the belt level
Subscribed because you replied. :-D (I like this type of content) Where are you from?
Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN thank you for subscribing. I'm from the UK in the South west
I have some friends in Devon, while visiting them they took me all over from Exeter to Cornwell. Beautiful country, love the Pasties from Cornwell.
Robert Hoyle yes can't beat a proper cornish pasty! Has to be freshly made and not a mass produced one.
You will quickly burn your motor out by not using a vice as per drilling your hole freehand at ~5'20 where the Forstner bit jammed.
My pillar drill, which is very similar to yours, came courtesy of Lidl (Penryn, Cornwall), it should have cost £49:99 but for some reason I was only charged £29:99.
The lid of the pully wheels rattles like bu££ery so I placed a large piece of scrap polished granite to quieten it down.
My only gripes are the 3 handles of the press are way too short to get any leverage on them and that there are no grease nipples for greasing the bearings of the quill.
Definately on my wish list. Might have to create a home made one as a temporary fix. Nice video
Thanks, home made one sounds interesting
You spelled "definitely" wrong.
just bought one, thanks for the video.
Nice review on this Parkside drillpress...I think I'm gonna get me one as well..I own some other Parkside tools already and for me as an occasional DIY-er they offer pretty good quality for the money
Glad you liked the review, i'm pretty sure they are due to start selling them again soon
Good and honest video, well done.
Richard Rayson thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it
I like your style James👍. Subscribed! Almost there with your first thousand 👍
VideoEngineering thanks for the great comment. Yes not far off now, not bad for a Bristolian who mucks about in his garage 😂
Very good and useful review. Thanks a lot.
No problem 👍
I bought one of these pillar drills from LIDL a few months back. While drilling a metal work piece, the drill bit grabbed in the work piece and stalled the motor. The drill will not now start. I checked the fuses and they are fine. Measuring DC resistance between the mains Live and Neutral pins (while holding the start button down) shows an open circuit. I fear the motor may be hosed. There doesn't seem to be any motor protection circuit to save the motor in the event of a stall.
John, that's not good. However, the drill should come with a 3 year warrenty. I would contact customer care (0871 5000 720) and tell them it packed up whilst using it and see what they say. If you do, keep me posted would be interesting to find out the outcome
That's helped me a lot. Thanks bud.
Thanks, glad it was of some help to you
Very good review ...Thanks
Thank you for the positive comment
Is it good for drilling thicker metal ?
ciao per usarlo per piccole fresature di poche decimi su alluminio con morsa a croce e fly cutter rischio che si parte il mandrino ?
As that normal for a drill press that you have to fiddle about with belts to adjust belt speed ?
Hugo Malice hi, yes it is. To get better results drill different materials such as aluminium, steel, hard wood, soft wood etc.
Good overview. Maybe consider conduit on your mains cable on your wall - particular as you have a drill press near it.
Hi, the pillar drill although used once or twice in that position doesn't usually go there, i moved it there so i could get in the shot easier with the camera angle. Since I made this video, I have removed the workbench in this corner and intend on building a drill press movable cabinet
Your C3 looks exactly the same as my D4 version !
+1884 Breitling I've not seen the D4 yet, but I would guess they are the same machine, but most probably slightly different wiring inside
How high is the actual pillar drill? because I have an apex roof workshop and need to know if it will fit on the bench and is not too tall. Thanks
Hi, sorry for the late reply, the drill measures 630mm tall, 450mm deep and 190mm wide. Hope this helps
Hi James, great review thanks!
Can I ask how it's holding up now after a few years use? still using it or decide to upgrade?
Hi Joe, yes I'm still using it, in fact if you look at my last video you will see that I use it in that. I have no complaints with it, I can't see me upgrading it till it one day breaks. I'm still really happy with it 👍
Well I got one, suits my modest purposes ecept I find that if I use it ore than 5 minutes or so the motor gets hot, not warm but too hot to touch, which seems a bit unusual
I can't say I get this issue with mine, I used mine for about 45min the other week with out stopping it, didn't feels hot at all. I'd look in to that if I were you
Looking for a pillar drill now and saw this review, do u recon it’s similar to Clarke / Charnwood/ Schepach etc? What size is the motor? Thanks for the review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
+Jono Rezzillo hi, I'm not to sure how it compares to the drills you have mentioned apart from the fact I know schepach are identical to other Parkside tools I've seen. This drill is coming up for sale next week in lidl.

Hope this helps
What I do to ten chin the belt is put a screw driver between the Motor and the drill
+THEMRJOE Thanks, I had thought of that, but I don't like to scratch any of the paint work.
I have a problem with this drill. The head is falling off. How to fix that? Thanks
Either it needs fitting on tightly, or its worn and you need a replacement. I would have to put quite some effort in to remove my chuck
Why do I think that the naysayers don't actually own this tool :) Well I do (for wood and metal work) and your great little video matches up perfectly with what I've found - especially the handles. But that's no biggie given what it does for the price. Which is a lot cheaper than the near identical Schepach in Screwfix etc. So well worth it.
I couldn't agree with you more. I can't comment on the play in the spindle as I've not had that issue, but for everything else I have used it for it has performed fantastic, especially as you say for the price it is
Good review thanks.
My father very kindly bought me one of these to help with drilling dog holes in a carpenter's workbench I was making. Unfortunately the drill doesn't have the power to make 19 mm holes in hardwood. It's also not very accurate. But then as other people have said, what do you expect for the money. For simple jobs for the average DIY'er, it would probably be fine.
Can't say I have used it to drill holes that large in hard wood, but have drilled a few big holes in pine and metal, albeit 5mm ally, but has been fine for me. And I don't seem to have any issues with the accuracy, maybe exchange it for another?
To be honest mate, drilling 19mm holes in hardwood, (and it's European beech, which is a very hard wood), is asking a lot of this drill. Even my hi spec DeWalt hand drill struggles to make 19 mm holes in hardwood. (My DeWalt SDS drill has no problem though.)
I can't really take the drill back as it was a present. My father bought it with good intentions to help me drill these holes. I'm probably going to end up buying a more expensive drill from Axminster. (the woodworking shop.) Authough even their cheapest pillar drills cost a few hundred pounds.
Fair play to him for buying it for you, very thoughtful of him. Don't have an Axminster tool shop near to me, so I've not played with any of their range of tools yet
Axminster have got a great selection of tools, especially quality hand tools for woodworking. I've bought loads of stuff of them and I highly recommend them. If you still live where your accent originated from, the nearest Axminster store to you is probably their headquarters in Axminster.
Yes I think it is, or maybe Cardiff
Thanks mate
Great review and demo, the newer models of these are being sold on ebay £160, reckon its worth that?
Hi mate, cheers. Umm to be honest, I'd say that quite a high price to pay, I'd wait until they come up again in lidl. It's not let me down, and I've used it for sanding, and turning wood on 👍
How does it cut through 5mm to 8mm steel ? I'm thinking the motor is not strong enough and you will have to back off many times before cutting through
I wouldn't know, I've not tried any steel that thick. But it would also depend on the bit used. Are you asking about a 4mm drill or a 12mm drill? I used it on some 3mm steel, with a brand new 5mm drill bit, slowed the drill down and it went through it fine
12mm drill bit . I'm thinking of buying one and just need to know if it's strong enough to cut through at least 10mm steel.
@@nickmarangos2475 let me have a dig about in my scrap metal pile, and I'll stick a 12mm drill bit in (if I have one) and see how it performs
I'm sure it won't cut directly with the 12mm drill bit through thick steel you will have to start with a small size and work your way up! I could be wrong though.
.thank you for your help
hi james i bought one of these drills some time ago now only problem i have with mine is that the drill chuck seems to have movement side to side on it any ideas on what may cause that issue
+mike nicholas Hi Mike, could you explain a little more, is the side to side movement from the chuck jaws, or is it from the shaft where the chuck sits?
hi james it seems to be the drill spindle
mike nicholas if it's the spindle that has side to side play in it as you mention, then most likely cause is warn spindle bearings. Hope this helps
dam not really used it yet due to illness expect only drilled 4 holes
mike nicholas it could also be the chuck not fitted square on the spindle
If you are happy with your purchase and it’s good value to you and how you work then it’s good value. Most of my tools are cheap, my drill press is even cheaper than yours, but I only make A2 photograph frames for my images which I give to a charity I'm involved with to sell. I’ve disabilities that mean I won’t be making any furniture any time soon and it will be longer before I do any construction so cheap serves me well and it’s usually good value. If I did do heavier duty stuff that I made money for myself out of then 'good value' would be defined differently. The things that aren’t are the things I've bought and never used like a circular saw.
Aldi do a great table saw online for £89.99 the same one under the Scheppach name at Screw Fix is £159. But Screw Fix are over priced, unless you are a builder who needs a lot of specialist screws today or some specialist gear, then they are good value. The problem with Lidl is they don’t have any online shopping because they had a sander a while back I was interested in.
I agree with you, just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's rubbish. I have an aldi detail sander that's been abused and used on everything over the last 8 years, still works great. It's all about finding the right tool, at the right price for your needs
hi your top belt needs moved up one pully in the middle or it wont last long
I realised this once I had finished shooting the video. Was gonna re-shoot it, but thought people would't notice. Whooops I was wrong
Just taken mine back to the shop after 8 months due to spindle dropping out.
John Barnes oh dear, that's a shame. Did you get a refund or a replacement drill?
James' Man Cave got a refund generally poor quality so wouldn’t buy another.
Returned two of them due to the same problem. Will not test a third one... Bad product, even for the low price.
Miguel Gomes I can't fault mine on this issue, my spindle is stuck in there pretty solid - wanted to remove it the other week to take off then drilling guard but couldn't get it to budge
Had this same problem a couple of weeks ago. There is a split pin inside the teeth on one of the cogs . It had snapped ( probably because I'm a heavy handed brute) I managed to replace this pin and reassemble the spindle and it's working perfectly again now. I do think it's just a poor design feature combined with being to heavy handed when applying pressure to your workpiece. Should be okay if you take it slowly when drilling and let your drill bit do all the cutting work. GOOD video by the way
Question
Where did you buy it from?
Lidl, they had them back in store about 2 months ago
hello nice vid
how big drill fit the chuck
is the chuck changeble to a biger?
thank u
From memory the chuck ranges from 3mm to 26mm. If you watch the build video of me putting together this drill, you will see the chuck only fits on to a shaft with a slight tap from a hammer. If you can find a chuck to fit on that shaft then I can't see why a bigger chuck wouldn't fit
ty
Stainles steel?
I would like to buy this pillar drill, how often do lidl sell them?
They usually do them twice a year. They had them in stock end of January (the new version has a laser guide now) so I would expect in the next few months they will have them again
Many thanks, I will keep an eye out for it
What was the price in € and wich country ?
It was £65 in the uk
James' Man Cave Holy smokes, here is the same 2nd hand drill but the salesperson claims its originally packed and unused and the price is: 132€ or 118GBP (correct me if I am wrong) (i think in Lidl store is a bit higher). Link to the drill: www.njuskalo.hr/oprema-obrada-metala/stupna-busilica-stolna-500-w-oglas-23006251 Europe, Croatia. In Croatia monthly salary is about 800€ or 713GBP. Now that Lidl price sucks!
Nice vid but can't believe you didn't clamp the ally bar or wood when using the Forstner...
There was no need to, I didn't need the holes I drilled to be accurate, it was just to show the capabilities
James first point, drive belts always have to be in line.
Second point. Read the description
When I was still very young, we had a farm and the name of the farm was Parkside.
Was it near a park by any chance? 😄
@@JamesManCave no it was next to the local golf course. 15 ha. Its in South Africa. Just good memories.
Sorry for sharing.
No problem, tis a cool fact!👍
James I must say I have owned one of these machines for 3 years now and have had nothing but poor quality throughout my ownership the emergency button fell off while I was using it exposing live circuits, the drive for the pillar drive sheared and mangled the return coil spring the shear pi is only very tiny and cannot withstand any drilling pressure and to get the machine to drill accurate in any direction is nigh on impossible again like my evolution table saw a bit more money for a better quality is on the cards now
Chris, that's a shame to hear that, sounds like you may of had a bad one there. Mines been nothing but a great addition to the workshop. My brother in law had the stop button issue, but apart from that he's been happy with his as well. 😕
EU warranty is 2 years for consumers. Lidl is also very easy on returns. If you don't like the tool just send it back and they give the money back.
The best tip would be; save the receipt:)
The tool quality is very low on Parkside tools. It's like a lottery. But it definitely is a nice way for beginners to get accustomed to new tools. Buying an expensive brand and giving away the parkside is always possible later.
Like for me, I got their plunge saw and found out that plunge saws are great. Now if I really need quality I would not hesitate to buy an expensive brand.
These are exactly my thought, ive found park side tools more then capable of doing the job, but you will always want that little bit more from them. Fitting the chuck is awkward on this if you don't fit it straight, it only doesn't run true cus it has been misaligned
The tool quality is quit decent for the price - the machines are great for their price but the drills etc you get with it are all just meh.
The table does move under pressure, there is too much play in the drill shaft and the chuck key is a poor fit, not very good for precision work, but not too bad given the price, better than nothing if only used occasionally, but next time I would go a bit more up-market, the reveiw is quite forgiving...
Richie Ole I'm giving you my impression from using this drill for 4months. I've found the holes to be quite accurate and I've not experienced the table moving at all
Check the video from 5.00 to 5.18, you will see it move under pressure, which is ok for woodwork, but not so good if you need to be more precise...As I said not bad for the price, I have mine for over a year, but I did change the chuck for a keyless one...
Richie Ole ahh, what you mean is the table flex's with pressure applied. Yes I had noticed that. But the holes I've drilled are extremely square. I have made several drill holders with this drill, and getting the drill bit out of the hole sometimes posses a bit of a task as they are quite tight
Alligning the belts, surely at 3:26, surely the back belts are-not alligned, and therefore your belts would have worn out very quick, or did you correct them, and with a direction of the handles not feeling good under pressure...create your own secondary stabilizer..!
I've pinned a comment explaining the belts, because I was doing it looking through the viewfinder of the camera I didn't notice them, it wasn't until I watched it back I saw it and moved them to the correct positions
west country lad
Ooo are me old mate 👍
Theres a geezer selling one of these on Ebay for £1049.99 !. I thought these were under 200 quid when they were for sale ?.
😮 ridiculous!
You never let us know about how square it drills,
It's extremely square. I made a drill bit holder for each size drill, when I first tried to stick the drill bits in the holes, they were quite tight, so I had to enlarge then very slightly to be able to put the drill bits in and take them out
Thanks James.
i had one of those e stop broke fixed, it second thing broke was the rack. it striped its teeth drilling a bar of 5mm mild steel. its a load of Rubbish.
Shitty handles are to prevent excess feed pressure me thinks, devious engineers, stopping us good people licking frozen polls. What I'm amazed by is the abysmal quality of the castings, surface of the moon, also the fact they can sell these so cheaply. Bit of copper grease might make the motor slide a bit easier.
Sorry, i missed your comment, that's a great idea about the copper grease! (off out i go to get some)
What does the copper grease do pls?
Jono Rezzillo the copper grease will help the motor move more freely. Putting it on the motor slides will lubricate them
Should have your guard down when drilling, especially when it’s metal...
Or, wear safety glasses instead when the supposedly safety guard obscures your view! . . . . .
James' Man Cave you know that, I know that but newbies might not... good vid though
Had one of these but failed after like 5 times the thread on the quil stripped out because it only engaged on the very tip of the gear and also the adjustable table is not even cast its presst steel if you want something that will last i would say look elsewhere
Thanks for the comment. It is clearly stated that the table is pressed steel before you buy the drill. For £60 you wouldn't get a cast metal table on any new pillar drill.
James' Man Cave fair coment but i was pritty pisst becuse i couldn't even tacke it back i personally think you carnt beat second hand
Why is this price drill press..?
If you mean, what is the price, its £59.99
Because the business would fail if they gave it away for free
Lol emergency stop button not even attached what else did they forget! Think I’ll pass
Apparently it was only held in with one screw, and it wasn't secured all the way in. Not had an issue with mine
Nice video, no hype and talking sensibly.
Thanks 👍
That thing just looks to be made from plastic... it's so bendy and unstable when you handle it :(
Well I've used it a fair bit now, on many different tasks, even turned wooden handles on it, and it's turned out to be a good little drill
Lets be honest here, they are absolute junk compared to anything proper, but dirt cheap and any pillar drill is a whole lot better than not having one, my first drill was a Lidl one, small 5 speed bought about 10 years ago, was £30, its still going, my brother has it now.
Daniel Gray I'd say that's a bit harsh calling it absolute junk, I've used it a lot this past month, only thing I've noticed is it struggled to cut through some hard wood I had with a forstner bit. But otherwise been bang on
Why the fuck drill spindle falls of?
It’s just a toy,had one and gave it away
As a qualified Toolmaker of 35 years, this is the first time I've seen someone tighten a three jaw chuck with each hole. Four jaw (lathe chucks, OK)
I went to Lidl, bought one, started assembling and saw that it wasn't worth that 80 Euro i payed. It wasn't worth even 10 euro. Aluminum quill, plastic gear, no bearings on idle pulley, wobbly and crooked spindle, pressed thin sheet metal housing and bench, out of center drill chuck, no possibility of spanning of the belts beside plastic studs that put the pulleys out of ballance, cant drill steel with any pressure, very low quality, pretty unusable, and perhaps even dangerous to use. I returned it in 2 hours. Got my money back, and i'm sattisfied with that shopping more than ever in my life. :-)
Which brand would you recommend for 80 euro?
Most entertaining comment. I cannot stop laughing!
I want a pillar drill that will drill steel tubing. Your comment convinced me that this is not the one for me.
Its not that good. Watch from 5 minutes in, you can see the bench bending, drill metal and you will not get a straight hole
My bench is made from wood, so it will flex. But obviously you mean the table on the drill! So far my holes have been fine for me
not bad for the price I guess, but this thing looks really flimsy
It's really not, I've had a while now, used it a lot and works brilliant still
LIDL shouldn't be allowed to sell so called 'tools' to morons. Accidents waiting to happen...
Fa abbastanza Schifo, abbiate pazienza, chiamare trapano a colonna una cosa che fora come un trapano a mano, ellittico spezzando le punte per il gioco di canotto mostruoso, fora 5 mm di lato dal centro di partenza del canotto, ho comperato il trapano, fatto 10 fori, verificato l'impossibilità di avere un trapano a colonna che faccia lavoro senza rompersi ogni 2 per tre, il coperchio sganciava il tasto di sicurezza fermando il trapano, nastrato il coperchio, la punta forava ellittico 5mm di disassamento, il canotto con un gioco mostruoso dopo esser uscito dalla sede centrale, in fine la parkside fa ottimi elettro utensili nel mini da banco per la roba più grossa è il caso di attendere ancora migliori sviluppi, ho ripreso i soldi, e non lo prenderei mai più.... non è buono per fori meccanici dove, almeno il millimetro servirebbe rispettarlo...! devo prevedere che si sposta di 5 mm la punta anticipando di 5 mm la morsa ?... ma siamo matti, non sanno fare i trapani oppure è una partita ciucca..!

RISPONDI
My friend, i'm not a speaker of the Italian language, but from what google translate tells me, you bought the drill to stop you breaking drill bits with a normal hand held drill. The cover on this model is secures via a bolt, so if tighten properly it shouldn't allow the top to pop up as you mention.It also seems that the holes you tried to drill became wider then the drill bit you used? That sounds to me like the chuck wasn't fitted square on the shaft. If the chuck is slightly tilted, this will be extremely exaggerated at the end of the drill bit. Hope this helps, and the refund you got you spent wisely on something else
Well observed ,however a donkey should not be left alone for that length of time anyway.
Take that stupid drill guard off,and use safety glasses,that thing is more of a hinderance than a safety guard
This is a review, I have to include everything that comes with the drill. If you had of watched any of my other videos, you would have seen that I have indeed removed the guard
everyone I know who got this, they are trying hard to sell it even for small money
This machine is a complete shit.The pulley axis and everything else was sucked in a month.Decrease the quality of the material money damage for that shit.Never again Parkside.
for the money you have paid?? stop complaining
At what point was I complaining? I mentioned the handles were a bit flimsy. And the motor was hard to slide back. These are valid points.
Please do not buy this machine. It falls apart, table is not 90 degrees, it wobbles etc etc. Waist of good money. It costs me a lot of time and energie/effort to get it a bit right. Have no more garantee, changed too much.
Sorry mate but your review was more like the blind leading the blind.
Thanks, look forward to seeing your review of it 👍
