Any recommendations for a solid reliable brand/model. Don't even

I have a Delta DP300L that I picked up at Lowes a couple years ago.
It was on sale for somewhere around $100.

It's solid and seems well constructed. Changing speeds is a bit
awkward, moving belts on pulleys. There not much play even when
the motor is loosened.

Like any benchtop drill press, the table is small. Someday I'll
make a wood table to fit over the metal table.
