[sdiy] speaking of drilling... Small drill press recommendations?

[Scott]

I got this on clearance from Lowes for about $170, and it's the best tool I've purchased!! (for projects like this w/ panels, or something w/ ventilation holes, etc)

I think it's been discontinued and replaced w/ a larger more expensive version.  You might still be able to find one on clearance at a lowes.


Aluminum is relatively soft, so I've had no issue w/ even the cheapest harbor freight style drill bits.  For sizes I use often, I do purchase better bits, but just whatever mid price bits look good at the local hardware store.

I gotta lotta holes to drill. My cordless drill attempts looks like a  
drunken caveman just discovered what a drill is. And of course, I'm  
only doing one of any project so it doesn't make a lot of sense to do  
the Front Panel Express thing [although, that would be lovely].

What your best suggestion for something under $200? [and maybe your  
choice of bits]
