When I see a 9" or 12" or 15" drill press, what
exactly is that measurement?

is that 9" (or other) the distance from the bottom
of the table to the drill bit "chuck"

no

or how deep
of an item you can put into the drill press before
it hits the "back/rear" post?

yes

Sorry, let me be more clear -- e.g. a 12" drill press measures 6" from the
column to the center of the chuck, 15" DP measures 7.5", and so on.
