Would you log to the

After downloading the manual, you could do some diagnostic work and perhaps repair your press. Ferinstance, if you had this one:

you can get a good grade industrial drill press for $75 to $100 if you look around and are patient - you will then need to spend about the same amount again buying new bearings and belts for it - and more if you want to make it beautiful (see the Delta drill press on my "hobbies/tools" page for example -

That is a good idea. I seem to recall going through the setup on the press when I got it, but I do not recall setting head screws. It has been quite a number of years though. I will see if there is a manual for my press and read it thoroughly. Thank you. I have already determined for precision located holes I'll use my mini mill, but for some stuff its not practical.

It's hard to beat a drill press for low cost versatility.
