The wife told me last night that, for my upcoming birthday, she and the kids want to get me a drill press for making pen blanks. But she needs some guidance on what to buy. I told her that, because space is at a premium in my shop (i.e. our garage), it should be a benchtop model. I also said it needs to have a three-inch stroke, at minimum.
Do any of you have recommendations on makes and models? Am I right with regard to the stroke distance? Is there any reason I should try to make room on my floor for a free standing model over a bench model?
Thanks for your suggestions.
