How can I get a model of the motor and bit

[@funwithdrillingengineering7649]

oh, that is quite difficult! I get them from the manufacturers - but just, as I am a professor at the university. But you may try! ;-) Some companies may be able to send you a file for a 3-d printer. Then you just need to find somebody to print it out for you. Good luck!
