Eventually I got rid of this big useless paper holder, this Chinese piece of junk called also Delta DP350 variable speed bench and I am looking to replace it.
I do everything that has to do with maintenance in my house. One day I drill in steel and the other in soft wood, so I need to change speeds often.
Although I dont use it everyday I am looking for a good reliable tool that will work when and as long as I need it to.
Dont mind paying if its a good value for the money.
Was considering the Jet JDP-12, 12 with digital read out but after reading the reviews I prefer to look for something else.
After reading a lot in the Internet I got the impression that there is not much to offer out there.
I am thinking of the Northern Industrial Variable-Speed Floor Drill Press with Digital Display - 1 1/2 HP for $600, cut its post and turn it into a bench model.
The problem is that is has only 8 reviews (all good).
If there is anyone here who is using this model, I would appreciate any insights.
Also if you had experience in converting a floor model drill press into a bench one, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks in advance.
