Default Drill Press Uses?


"HerHusband" wrote in message
...
I bought a Delta benchtop drill press a couple of years ago, thinking it
would be one of the most used machines in my workshop. I bought it to make
mortises, drill shelf pin holes, holes for inset hinges, etc. But, two
years later, I find I rarely even plug it in. All the things I bought it
for, I tend to use my cordless drill for instead, or use different
materials or techniques that don't require the drill press.

It took me years to finally purchase a drill press, so I don't really want
to get rid of it. But I'm curious what other people do with their drill
press to get more use out of them?

Ideas please...

The DP was my first shop tool. It is also the one that I use least. I
mainly use it for light wirebrushing because I don't have room to leave my
grinder out.
Maybe I should sell the DP and use the room for my grinder w/wirebrush?
