    Direct Driller magazine

    750a mods

    you will need to have an air supply, I blow straight into the venture, which works really well, gravity would not work well imo

    I have never fitted air bleeds as I have never had the need. pro series boots have only impressed me so far and have made a big difference to the drill with no blockage problems, I did change the press wheels on the advice of @Simon Chiles
