Has anyone had any experience, or knowledge about using a "Drill/Mill" for woodworking drilling, mortising and tenon cutting?
I'm looking to get into a nice drill press like the Powermatic var spd PM2800B or the New'ish Nova Voyager DVR. Both are variable speed, but seem to have mixed reviews.
For another $1,000, I could get a mid range mill/drill that is very solid and would have an x and y axis hand feed. That seems quite handy and accurate for mortising, tenoning and just basic drill countersink, or even drill and tap operations in both wood and metal.
Problem is, I really never did metal working and never used one of these tools...
Thanks in advance for you input.
P.S. Yes, I realize that this type of machine would have a limited workpiece height as compared to a floor standing drill press.
