Have a Delta DP200 bench-top model that I like pretty well. It has the rack and pinion table-moving mechanism Dale mentions, though it does tend to drift around when you raise and lower the table. N I hadn't thought about a foot switch, but it makes a lot of sense, so I'll probably try and find one shortly.

I like it well. It weighs about 75 pounds. So, if you get a floor model, you may need help putting it together because they can weigh a lot. Just picking up the head to put it on the column would be a 2 person job. earlier, Dan Rossi, wrote: >Does anyone have any recommendatioins or disrecommendations for a drill >press?
