FWIW, I bought a Sears Craftsman Drill press twenty years ago for $99, I don't know what they are now. I have carted that thing from city to city and by now it is an old friend, always working just like the day I brought it home. I had a $25 electric drill holder/press before that, it is sitting in my mom and dads basement, not oxydizing fast enough! I am sure that my cost per use by now is well below .50/hole, but I will admit that when I bought it, it was a stretch. I use it for more things than I can think of, buffing, sanding, drilling, it is a good old friend indeed.
