    I prefer the bench mounted drill press.
    Mines bolted to the edge of a small cabinet.
    I can twist the head 90degrees so I can get the clearance of a floor mount.
    The cabinet is my storage area and holds a few things including a couple of nailguns as well as my chisel mortice attach etc.
    The drawer holds drill bits, spade bits forstner bits etc.

    So in the footprint of a floor mounted drill I can keep all my accessories.
    With a floor drill the extra bits would have to be stored elsewhere.
    So I would have even less usable space in my shop

    Default CarbaTec pricing?

    Thanks for the info Arch, I was looking at buying a drill press in the $300 price range and the CarbaTec CH-16N seems to be well regarded - what did it cost you and will CarbaTec generally give you a good deal or is the sticker price the price you pay? I know TTI will generally take a few $ off the big ticket items...
