Wow - the very first time I've ever disagreed with Harold. I would
certainly own a mill-drill. I'd put it on the end of my bench and I

make really wonderful drill presses if you don't have very tall
workpieces. (If you need to drill a hole into the end of a broomstick
you're up the proverbial creek ..)

That's where the round column comes into its own. Simply swing
the head around *behind* the machine, and drill the tall object
which is sitting on the floor.
