    Drill Press Education Needed

    I'm having a hard time deciding which Drill Press to save for and from other post it appears to be a common problem.

    What are the advantages of purchasing the higher end Delta 18-900L or Powermatic PM2800B versus a Porter Cable PCB660DP or Grizzly G0794?

    All of these drill presses have lasers, and the cheaper end with the Porta Cable and Grizzly have a 4" throw versus 6".

    What kind of projects would I need more than 4"? I don't turn currently but when I do I plan on getting a lathe.

    What are the tolerances like with all 4 of these DP when full extended?

    Any and all advice that can help limit a choice would be appreciated.
