I bought a Ryobi bench-top a few years back (IIRC $99 at HD) that has
done a good job for light duty 1/2" drilling in wood, aluminum, brass,
and 1/4" mild steel.



I have the same one. I had to tighten up that 8mm bolt in the side to
correct some run-out, but after that, it runs true.


What kinda drill speeds, top end? Small bits need speed and there's
no limit when working aluminum.
