Looking at drill presses for drilling my thru-holes....looked at the Ryobi at Home Depot for $99.00 and the Craftsman at Sears for $120.00. Was not crazy about the quality of the construction of either one but I guess for $100.00 plus or minus $20.00 I guess they were not too bad. Anybody own these and if so, how do you like them? Does anyone recommend another brand? The Ryobi was a 10" model, I think the Craftsman was 8" model.
I know some of you will say, "use your lathe it will give you a better thru-hole and you save $100.00" but the lathe I have is the small grizzly and I am not sure if you can thru drill with it.
