<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have used my little itty-bitty Sears =
Crapsman for
several years now - just a benchtop model - and it seems to work well. I =
like
Ron N.'s idea of the radial drill press. Be aware that the chuck is =
often the
weakest link with respect to dirll bit runout. When I buy a drill press, =
I plan
on purchasing a good after-market chuck. I think I paid about $70 for my =
drill
press and about $95 for a good chuck. The good chuck eliminates any =
excessive
runout that is common on cheap drill presses. This really becomes =
important when
drilling pinblocks.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, twice in my previous life I had =
or had
access to a drill press. It's time for me to buy one
(again---ahem). I was thinking that this one from Sears looked =
pretty
nifty with the laser trac that shows exactly where the bit will
land. Any comments or suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
