I have a mid-60s Craftsman floor standing DP with a maximum speed of
8550 rpm. I have chucked a router bit in it for some touch up work. I
also use wire brushes and drum sanders. This in addition to the usual
precision hole making (drills, hole saws, circle cutters, etc). I
couldn't be without the DP.

A drill press is one of the best dowel 'sizers' known to mankind.

I don't use mine daily, but like many tools in the shop, when I need it no
other tool will do.
