My older son will turn 9 soon and we are thinking of some present

would be better off looking for a small, low power drill press. But
after looking for such a press, I realized that they are not suitable
for kids, due to belt drive and too much power. The high speed
presses seem dangerous to eyes. (though he knows to wear eue
protection, he could forget).

So, I guess my question is, are there little drill presses that could
drill up to 1/4 and would be kid friendly, available.

Have a look at the modelling power tools sold by Micromark ,I think
they have a small drill press .
Also Proxxon have some smaller power tools avavilable ,not sure if
they are sold in the US .

They are - which shouldn't be too surprising since they're a US company!
