It has served me very well. A larger, heavier drill press would always be welcome - but you can get by with a small one if you wish. Just be sure to put a good chuck on it - I think mine is a Jacobs and cost around $100.</span></font></div>

<br>the old pins were only .265", smaller than 1/0. I prefer to keep it in that range.
