    A drill press is one of those "meat and potatoes" tools that belong in every shop.

    Yep, I am just now getting one, but I have had many past needs for a drill press. Hopefully a shop press is next.

    220 is a decent lowest rpm. They have a larger "production" model, for more money, that I examined at the store. I guess they're still available. Had a huge table on it.

    That's the unit I've had for at least 10 years. Works well for my needs; and just won't quit!
