Both of those are NICE - I'd sure like to have one. With 8K RPM they sure would work nice... I expect anyway. I "make do" with a cheap drill press with 3100 rpm max and it does a good job of drilling with anything from .017", .021", .031" and larger carbide bits. I have drilled with my dremel tool that has high rpm and the holes "might" be a tad cleaner, but 3100 rpm works ok.
Maybe I could convince myself to spend a couple hundred bucks????? Have to think about that.
Thanks for the link.
