I wish to buy a moderately priced drill press for around $200. I realize that I won’t find a press comparable to those costing hundreds or thousands more. I need a workable, reliable drill press for occasional drilling wood and metal. Any thoughts by anyone with experience utilizing a drill press in this price range. I am looking at the DELTA DP300L 12-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill Press offered by amazon.com for $179. Thanks.

I have never tried that press, but have heard good things. The only bad things i heard about it, was having to move the belt all the time.

Well thank you Abhilashia! We now know the most basic function of a drill press. What do you know about screwdrivers or claw hammers?
