I am looking for a replacement for a chinese bench drill. It's not
bad, provided you can live with spindle runout that can be measured
with a yardstick. I'm gonna move on up to a floor model. 18+ inches,
1000- dollars. I have no real heartburn with decent chinese if the
quality is ok and the price is good. I'd prefer American, old or new,
but price is likely to be a problem on new; and availibility and
serviceability a probem on old stuff. I am in the Savannah, Ga area.
Any ideas or recomendations? Currently leaning towards "Dayton" brand
presses. Seems to be Grainger's house brand. Chinese of course. Any
experiences?

Thanks,

Simply go to ebay, enter "drill press", enter "closest first" and see
whats available in your area

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
