Re: Drill presses
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf I really wanted and needed a a conventional floor standing drill press that is built to an industrial standards (rather than kitchen appliance standards), I¡¯d most likely buy an Ellis drill press - family owned company, built in the USA.I published this in about 2002. ? Not much has changed since then in terms of quality drill presses for the woodworking market, and if I were needing a drill press today, I would still go the same route, but probably with a different mill/drill platform. ?Even if I had no interest in metal working - which was the case in 2002 when I got the machine shown at the above link. Most likely I¡¯d buy something like this. ? And I¡¯d add a vise and a Woodpecker drill press table (which is what I use on my mill currently when I need to drill wood).
