Yes the drill has a Morse Taper konus.
It's a Solberger Swedish made with 8 speed gearboks.
Just needs a Cleen-up and then something to drill

Jannik,
That's not fair! Makes my Startrite Mercury look like something from the local DIY supermarket.
It does have a morse taper though and it's 10 speed.
On topic, lots of nice presents but nothing Lotusy.

Great.. Looks a good bit of Kit Jannik. You have to watch some of the really cheap stuff out there.
Great choice.. Is it 3 Phase? (400volts) All my kit is. I use a phase converter to power it all. Brilliant!

Yes it is 3 phase.
Can you then adjust the speed with the phase converter?
Arn't they expensive for those watts?

It was not too bad price wise Jannik. Has been totally reliable too.. (should not have said that).... 
Been great though. I used to agent them for use with wood machinery. So I got my own discount and a little more.
It is a std item and does not allow speed control (Not an Inverter) Which I don't need. My CNC lathe has vari feed and that's the only speed control I use. When I thought about 3 ph for my own workshop I had the option of a supply or the converter. It was the well cheaper option and I don't need to dig it up if I want to sell it.
Well done on your choice of machinery..
Here's a link to the makers of the converter I use....

Happy new Year to all.. Keep well!

More info on converters..
The max HP motor I can run on my unit is 7.5 . OR multiples up to that figure.
I use a system with a 'donkey' motor.. I run that up 1st which helps to start the smaller motors that I use. larger HP motors can be run on their own and have similar starting to a star delta starter system.. The donkey motor is wired into a ring main around my shop with various plug / sockets (3 Ph) although now I never need to plug and unplug etc.. Machines are more permanently wired in now.. So I start the Donkey motor 1st and leave it running until I have started any other motors I need running. Then I knock the donkey off and tune the converter (via a switch 1 - 9 positions) to give smoothest running and least current draw. My lathe when running draws about 3 - 5 amps depending on work and speed etc. but sends the meter round to the stop when starting at high rpm's.. The workshop is fed via a 45 amp breaker.
I can do some pic's if anyone is interested. They do work very well..
