Good day all:
*I did search the archives before posting, and didn't find much specific to the Rikon 17" Sorry if asked before.
I am heading to the states to pick up some furniture and drive it down to FL to ship out. I'm stopping by Highland Woodworking to pick up a Rikon bandsaw, and I am also looking for a drill press. The Rikon 17" is sure a good price point, and seems quality enough. I really don't use a drill press a whole lot, but I would like to use the Delta hollow chisel mortiser that I already own. So- any Rikon owners want to chime in? Do you like it? Does it fit a Delta hollow chisel mortiser?
Anyone with another brand of 17" drill press want to comment? I mainly want a longer throw than my bench-top press, less slop, and ability to use a hollow chisel mortiser. I would also really like a light and a laser, but it's not a must. The Rikon doesn't have that, but the price is nice.
