[Shop-talk] [Bulk] A mini drill press that doesn't suck?

[Karl Vacek]

Or used?  I have a very old Duro bench-top drill press that was my only
press till I got a larger (and even older) Atlas floor model.  It probably
cost under $35 in the late 40's, but it's solid cast iron and quite stable.
And old.  The motor is on rails and thus easy to change to add as much power
as desired.

Hello,

Does anybody know if there is a source for a better model?  ALL the ones I
have ever seen in stores, etc. are made in China, and their precision seems
to be pretty
random- the display model could have a quill with no slop, but then the one
I bring home could be much worse.
