Okay so I have my new Shop Fox W1668 bench top drill press and have assembled it. My previous tiny drill press was on a tall (36") work bench and this drill press seems super high on that same bench. It seems really high even on on a little lower (33") bench. Obviously the size of the drill press factors in pretty heavily, but this is a pretty big drill press. It seems that "bench top" in this case means it is either pretty high or it is on a pretty low bench.
If I look at the Shop Fox floor model of a similar size it is 63" tall. This bench top model is about 38" tall. So it would seem that putting it on a 25" base would make it the same height as the floor model. That seems like a reasonable approach since when they designed the floor mounted one they could make it any height they wanted, so matching that seems like it would be reasonable. Does that make sense or am I missing something here?
