Pedestal Drill
Would someone tell me what the quill on a drill press does please and is it better for a small one or larger.

I've always been told that size doesn't matter.
but have a look here:

Stompa,
The larger the quill the more solid and sturdy the drill, and generally the more solid overal construction it will probably have - which will always be a pluss when using it. There are a lot of cheap drill presses on the market. Go for a quality drill like and engineering grade drill over the cheap imported from china type.
While I can get by with the drill press I inherited (made in china type) its nothing compared to theheavy duty drill presses like I used to use in the trade (fitting and machining). Or maybe just go out and get one of those big radial drills that stand about 12 foot high now thats a drill.
Regards
Stephen
