Drill presses with exposed belt
Hey all,
I've been looking for a drill press, and I'm drawn to old heavy machines by brands like Waldown etc. Just wondering - is there any particular disadvantage to the older design style that has the exposed belt and sprockets (or whatever they're called)? Like these: http://res0.graysonline.com/handlers...79667077000000
Do they require more care/maintenance than something fully covered? Are they safe enough from rust/other problems in a detached garage that usually has a door open?
Cheers
Will
