I have been doing woodworking as a hobby for the last couple of months. After a couple of projects, I slowly acquired a tablesaw and other power tools and now in need of a drill press to make those accurate holes. I spent two whole days researching between 10" and 12" drill presses and between delta and ryobi. All my power tools are ryobi and all of them work great so naturally I am biased towards ryobi.
As a matter of fact I bought the ryobi 10" DP at homedepot yesterday for $99. It is the new model with laser crosshairs. It works fine. But I am wondering if I should have got the 12" ryobi new model which had lasers plus variable speeds. I could not find a single review of this new 12" ryobi DP. It has infinite speeds between 500 and 3000rpm. 5A motor.
Will it be worth spending $169 for the 12" one ? please advice. I dont want to outgrow a new DP very soon.
Thanks,
