I am looking for a replacement for a chinese bench drill. It's not bad, provided you can live with spindle runout that can be measured with a yardstick. I'm gonna move on up to a floor model. 18+ inches,
1000- dollars. I have no real heartburn with decent chinese if the quality is ok and the price is good. I'd prefer American, old or new, but price is likely to be a problem on new; and availibility and serviceability a probem on old stuff. I am in the Savannah, Ga area. Any ideas or recomendations? Currently leaning towards "Dayton" brand presses. Seems to be Grainger's house brand. Chinese of course. Any experiences?Thanks, Ken
