If you get no luck from Alug then I'd suggest looking for a small independent joiner or furniture maker, they'd probably let you have use of a drill for 10 minutes in exchange for a couple of beer tokens.

Hi guys,

Does anyone in the Norwich-ish area happen to have (or have access to) a drill press I could use?

I am building a guitar from a kit and I need to drill 4 holes with said drill press.

Can anyone help?

I have access to one at work but it is at our workshop in Mildenhall so a bit of a trek for you.

Or if you fancy a day trip to Lavenham then Mike Wells at AJ Laminated Beams in Cockfield would help you for beer tokens.

Otherwise what Adam said, it doesn't even need to be a Joiners, any machine shop should have one but depending on what they do they may or may not be ok with sawdust floating about.

I sent my reply to sender (deliberately), but OP is either deliberating or hasn't seen it yet.

I have a suitable brnch drill/drillpress here in Bunwell - it only (only? [Ed] ) requires me to clear a space round it...

Just to save folk from offering facilities at the ends of the universe.

Thanks for all replies, I have now found someone fairly close by.

Anthony, thanks for your kind offer, but I was looking for someone a little closer.

Glad you're sorted.

Just in case anyone else finds themself in a hole, I have lots of woodworking tools, as well as bench-fitting tools, electrical ditto, taps, dies, reamers, and a small (gas) welding set.

And don't forget Etc.: I've got tlots of that, too..
