A new mystery. Rexon? Sure not a name I recognize.

Looks like I must have this one:

http://www.handytools.co.uk/acatalog..._Drills_6.html

Rexon 381mm Floor Drill Press, DP380F
(Reference #REXDP-380F)

381mm looks like Euroweird for 15". More or less.

Price: £219.00 Including VAT at 17.5%
(£186.38 Ex VAT)

£186.38 * 1.6 = 298.208

So it's basically the same price as the Crapsman version, except that one
comes with a vise, a chuck collar thingie and some kind of switch inside
the lid.

Well, that's about what I'd expect. Same tool without the extra blurfls at
the same price. That's Crapsman.

It was still available here and now when I wanted it. The best looking DP
in town. I still say the comparable Delta looks seriously more crappy on
fit and finish.
