Powermatic PM2800B 18" Drill Press
It was time to replace old worn out, received used to me. with only 3" quill travel drill press. Just like "others" I did my research on different brands and offering options and keep going back to this model. I don't have to build a fence as it comes with one, replaceable waste block that is height adjustable, 1/2" or 3/4" whatever you have laying around. I have found comfortable to have one down feed handle on each side, I'm ambidextrous. RPM change is a breeze, all I have known is belts & pulleys before. The price is high, but I bought the floor model, and the staff work with me to lessen the price pain. Would I buy it again? YES but sooner life.
