I've been making do with my $99 craftsman 10" drill press. It's nice to have but has always had a bit of runout, and the quill travel is less than 2". Several times recently I've needed more boring depth and the other day I couldn't even use it to drill the center of a bowl blank for my midi lathe. I can't even drill through half a pen blank at once. My quill on my lathe is only about 2" as well. So it's time to upgrade. I don't do a ton of big boring, but I do occasionally use a 2 1/4 forstner bit. I have a steel stand right now under my current DP so I don't think I need a floor model. If I need to drill the end of long stock I can use my lathe up to 42". I think quill travel is my top need, most of what I've seen in this range is 3-3.25. I like the grizz models but wood magazine had a review recently where the runout was worst on the 12" grizz. I like the jet 15" bench model. It's basically the same as their floor model on a shorter stand. 3/4 HP, 3.125 quill travel, 5/8 chuck. I can save some dough and get the 12" delta but it drops down to 1/3 HP, same quill travel. Just curious on your thoughts, opinions.
