Floor Stand Drill Press
 

In the market for a drill press. A lot of the reviews on them do not look too promising. Looking for a decent one for under or around a grand. Anybody have some recommendations??

for an affordable, good solid American made drill press, I'd try your local auctions..

here's a recent thread on an auction find :metal:

The local craigslist, FB or offerup for example. Check the internet for how to check for loose bits.

A good used machine would be your best bet. The suggestions above are a good way to go.

Been looking locally now for a couple of weeks at auctions and such, even up into the Chico/Oroville area. May even consider a mill if it is affordable

Re: Floor Stand Drill Press
 

auctions may be slow or closed right now so might take a little longer..

I've bought salvaged tooling from Cal Aero Supply, they buy a lot of aerospace and industrial equipment..

don't recall seeing larger machines there, but might be worth a phone call and ask if they either have for sale or can give you some leads..

good luck!

Here is a Mill Drill that's pretty good.
I says it still available?
