Most of those are inherently a waste of money unless you ALWAYS use
the exact same length of drill bit in all the bits you have/use. If
the length differs, then you gotta re-adjust/re-calibrate the laser

There ARE laser alinement devices for around $60 that chuck into the
drill press and give you fairly accurate indication of where on the
workpiece the drill will go, but those need to be chucked up every
time you want to drill a hole, and then once aligned you unchuck the
laster and chuck up the drill bit. Not real convenient nor will it
speed up your drilling, BUT it WILL increase the accuracy of the
drilling

I noticed that some drill presses come equipped with laser guides. Is
this something that you can buy as an attachment to most drill presses?
