GAE to sell user-friendly drill

Graphic Arts Equipment hopes that ease of use will be a number-one selling point for its new entry-level paper drill.

UD-04 is designed by German firm Drselen and has a sliding table for changing between A4, A5 and A6 sheets without readjusting the drill heads or side stop.

"The four-head drill is easy to operate and adjust and each drill can be positioned individually," said marketing manager Vic Fletcher.

Drselen worked with Japanese firm Uchida on the kit, which costs under 6,000 and features linked regulation for stroke and spindle speed.

A set of spacers enable quick and easy drill-head set-up, and the roller-mounted 230-volt kit plugs into any socket.
