Dear Creekers,
I'm looking to buy a (used) benchtop drill press, and would like to know what you'd recommend.
Some criteria:
1. Must fit in my 97 corolla (I need to be able to move it).
2. Must let me use a Wagner Safety planer or Rogers sanding disk to thin veneers. Platform lift is nice
3. Relatively quiet, less vibration preferred
4. Minimal runout.
5. Mainly using this to build guitars
I've currently narrowed it to a Jet 13R (from the estate of a deceased machinist, likely made in Japan) or a Walker Turner 18" benchtop model (heavy, made in US, asking 4x the price of the Jet).
Any thoughts?
