[Shop-talk] HB drill press

[PJ McGarvey]

When my Dad bought the larger table top model a few years ago, he gave me the
smaller one.  I found out quickly doing some woodworking that it leaked oil
from the shaft and sprayed it onto my work pieces.  Not the best way to get a
good looking finish.  I've gotten by w/out it since...

Not sure if it always did this, but it wasn't heavily used that's for sure.
You'd probably be OK for doing metal work, though the smaller one might be a
big underpowered.
