General 34-02 drill press?

[Jason White]

Anybody here own the 15" drill press (model 34-02) by General?

Here's a link to it...

Is this a good bench-top machine for woodworking in a small shop?

Well, I have the full-lenght version per the pic below:

It cost me a bundle; but it is rock solid, just as with all Canadian General stuff. Mine will last a lifetime and more--and it is fairly easy to fix. Mine is perfect for a hobby workshop--as would be yours. Perhaps you could find a used one?
