Hi All, I am thinking of buying a drill press sometime soon and was hoping to poll the wreck on size. I primarily am a woodworker, though a year ago I would have said that I was primarily a metal worker so something powerful enough for both is helpful, as is speed adjustment. Mainly I see myself using the drill press for small applications where I want to have holes perfectly aligned, perpendicular to the work piece etc.
I am basically wondering about the size of the throat or reach or whatever the distance from the spindle to the pole is. Is bigger always better? Or is this one of the few chances where I can save some money and get a 60B sooner rather than later.
Thanks
