Did you have to thread the steel bar? How much is the cheapest Bosch
angle drill? Where do you get, and how much is a speed controller? I
haven' seen one of those for years.


Maplin sell a drill speed controller kit for 19.99 - VE90. You'll also
need a box and input output cables/sockets etc. It works very well, but
may not reduce the speed of an angle grinder sufficiently for some
drilling applications.

And if you need a really crude and nasty speed reduction for a tool,
stick a rectifier diode in serise with the live. Runs it half wave so
don't expect smooth controled torque ;-)
