Floor Stand Drill Press
In the market for a drill press. A lot of the reviews on them do not look too promising. Looking for a decent one for under or around a grand. Anybody have some recommendations??

Re: Floor Stand Drill Press
A good used machine would be your best bet. The suggestions above are a good way to go.

Re: Floor Stand Drill Press
Been looking locally now for a couple of weeks at auctions and such, even up into the Chico/Oroville area. May even consider a mill if it is affordable

Re: Floor Stand Drill Press
auctions may be slow or closed right now so might take a little longer..
I've bought salvaged tooling from Cal Aero Supply, they buy a lot of aerospace and industrial equipment.. don't recall seeing larger machines there, but might be worth a phone call and ask if they either have for sale or can give you some leads.. Quote:
