A new kind of Drill Press
Jack writes:
The two things I don't like about my DP is raising and lowering the
table. I'd like that to be electric, or on a ratcheting gear type
device. The other is I would prefer a bench top rather than floor
model. I never really needed the DP to drill into the end of a 4' board,
and when I do, I use other methods. The floor model takes up valuable
space, I would prefer to have my DP sit on top of a nice cabinet full of
tools and stuff.
To be fair, nothing prevents you from building a "nice cabinet full
of tools and stuff" that lives under the drill press table. It could
even be on casters so you can slide it in (leave a hollow in the back
and bottom for the drill press post/stand).
