After some searcing for my own machine, I found that with drill presses it is all or nothing. Small bench top unites are woefully underpowered and tend to be pretty bad in terms of quality. Also the throat clearance is so small it really limits its usefulness. However there are good ones out there but you will pay for it, which is the other catch. You either pay 300 or more or else you get junk that will be nearly useless.
