Actually the quill travel on mine is 3.125"

That's a bench top isn't it?

Yes



I am looking at almost 5" possibly 6" for a replacement.

Would expect somewhere around 5+"-6+" travel to be std for a floor mount
these days.

Actually no, Laguna drill presses are less than 4" and many other floor
models are also. *You have to make it a point to check that specification

close to 5" or more.

This one would make any Festool or Laguna look in place.
