After less than an hour of drilling series of holes in 1/32" sheet of polycarbonate, mostly idling, the motor has overheated.
I bought this drill press around 2003 and used it infrequently, for 1-4 holes at a time, in mild steel, but now that we are heading into hard times, I realize that I am essentially w/o a reliable drill press.
Any ideas how to prevent overheating if I ever have to drill for extended periods of time again? Mount an external fan on it? OMG, we should never have to worry about sh..t like this!
This is the same unit, for the reference:
