I had this thought too, but i do not own a good drill press ;-(
I know i ought to get one, but i can do many things with my drill stand
and a very good power drill in it, and i refuse to buy a cheap press as i
fear the motor would be inferior and i would be disappointed. the drill
stand is lever operated, it is no good to precisely press small increments.
