Not true, I think you need to think about this some more.

Try and charge $65/hr while cranking the knee to drill a hole.


The machines with fixed spindles that I have seen had #40 or #50 tapers,
they also have power feed built in. I have drilled 1 1/2" diameter holes
with them for hydraulic valves and then bored them.
