    Default peerless drill press?

    I've been looking at a Peerless drill press in Fisher discounts in Canberra.
    This one here

    http://www.peerlessproducts.com.au/workshop/pedestal/67

    The floor model is a bit different from the photo, it has a more sturdy lever arm. It's construction feels sturdy, and its specifications measure up for my general woodworking requirements.

    Its $600 and so it is a bit dearer than comparable models from, say H and F. Why I'd pay more is that its got a 3 year warranty and I don't have to pay postage, and I know the guys at Fisher Discounts will look after me if its not up to standard.

    Does anyone have any experience with this brand or comments on the purchase? I'm pullling the trigger later in March.

    Dunno if u can get hold of one from their depot in Havilah road. Remember taking my Peerless stick unit out there for warranty repair a couple of years ago.

    I know they did the odd sale from there several years ago, cause thats where I bought my welder and bench grinder from.

    I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.

    From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".
