Decent Drill Press?

Post by Vatkan » Tue Dec 18, 2018 4:47 am

I figured some of you probably own one.

I'm tired of my hand drill and am thinking about investing in a drill press to make enclosure assembly easier. I want one that can sit on my workbench. I don't need anything fancy, but I don't want a hunk of shit. I want to spend less than $200. Is there anything decent in that range? Any models to stay away from https://mechanicfaq.com/drill-presses-under-200/?

I'm in the Canada, so I'm not interested in products that aren't available here

This is the one I have: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-10-in ... /205503636

I can honestly say it's the best one I've ever owned. I've never owned another one. 😬But it's been fine for me, I've used it in a couple GBZs and mintyPi.

The only one I have is 5+ feet tall. But I have seen a drill press mount for a Dremel. That may be something that's worth a try.
