A new kind of drill press but one which must be paid for with the old
kind of money. I've been getting by with a refurbished Delta bought
from their clearance center in Pigeon Forge. Sure, it is noisy and the
speed is a bitch to change and the depth stop is a PITA and the quill
has a bit of wobble when fully extended but I figure that it has cost me
about $10 per year to own since 1998. If somebody gives me a lottery
ticket and it happens to hit the big jackpot maybe I'll look at the new
type (if I'm not too old to use it).


Obviously not for every one.
