    CL Drill Press Gloat

    I was pretty excited when I first saw this on craigslist, but after going up there and making the purchase Im not sure if I got such a great deal....
    Turns out I paid full price ($120) for this Rockler Drill Press table!
    Luckily the guy I was buying it from was real nice and threw in this 15'' Ridgid Drill Press for only $30 more...
    A 2 year old DP1550 with no run-out, zero rust, and a pretty sweet after-market table/fence for only $150 and a 40 minute drive? Thanks Craig!
    This is a BIG upgrade from my current method for drilling straight holes - where I use my cordless drill and say to my 3 year old "OK honey, Ill watch this side, and you watch that side, and you tell me if daddy starts going crooked..."

    dang, that is a sweet deal. I was using my bench top 10" press this weekend and discovered i've gotten to the point where I have outgrown its usefulness.

    Nice score, Man! Even if you did overpay for the DP Table, I reckon it worked out alright in the end. Yes, CL is a great source for tools and machines. You'll enjoy your new DP and table. Congrats!
