horizontal drilling is called boring . vertical drilling is called drilling . Ive been wanting one of them for my home shop but find them very expensive for my wallet approx $3500 new . They last for ever ( as long as they are taken care of ) like saltyric said "dad had his for 30 40 years " . I bet with the lathe , sanding disk , horizontal boring , and table saw you can pretty much do any plug work .

sawdust is the bomb if you want or need a polished finish .
