I read that in Dale's voice, startled me for a sec lol.

Funny, I've been shopping around for woodworking drill presses, and stumbled across your post. Created an account on this forum just so I could share what I've found. Finewoodworking did a test of 9 benchtop drill presses back in 2007: https://www.finewoodworking.com/tool-guide/article/tool-test-benchtop-drill-presses.aspx Hope this doesn't go against forum rules, but I'll post part of their conclusion: "... General International 75-100 tested best for drilling power and all-around performance. If you can afford the $450 price, it’s the best you can buy. Or, the Jet JDP-15M might be the drill press for you. It rated second for power, among the best for speed- change and depth-set ease, has the largest table, and at $350, is more affordable. We rated both models best overall. "
