I understand Sundeala is a brand name. Is there a generic name or an
equivalent board that may be more readily available?
TIA

MDF is very similar, probably the same thing.
All (well, OK,most) DIY stores keep it in stock.

That must be Hobbyboard, it only comes in 1200x600 sheets, the Pinboard
comes in 2400x1200 sheets.
Quick look at their site, seems to be made from recycled newspaper and is
'pinable', so maybe its softer than MDF? Never heard of it before.

Haven't seen Sundeala for a long time but its certainly a lot softer than
MDF and often used for pinboards etc.
Lasttime I wanted some I settled for a generic "insulation board" from
Travis Perkins. Slightly rough surface, white painted on one side and
softer than Sundeala but it did the job.
The Sundeala web site has quite a long list of suppliers
I recall that one of the qualities appreciated by model railway fans was the
quiet running it gave the trains.
It's actually LDF or "pinboard". Berry's in Leyland stock it in nice big
sheets.

It was all demolished a while ago and the site now has a selection of flats

IIRC the website says it's made from recycled newspaper. I recently go a
few sheets off ebay - two** of which now sit behind my son's dartboard,
protecting the wall.

You should try Imperial measurements - the drill never ever wanders.

Foot, pint and pound are perfectly sound.
Try knocking a nail in the spot before you lift the drill. Then drill on
the spot and it stops it wondering.
No it isn't.
