David, If throat depth is your only problem you can still get a bench model
with adequate throat depth. I use my Jet drill press bench model JDP-14M (which
is mounted on a stand so at first glance looks like a floor model) for hammer
boring using Wally's jig, for hammer shaping, key planing etc. I am sure there
are plenty of other brands out there with kind of throat you are needing. The
Jet though has been a good tool.
