Hello there, I am in the market for a bench top drill press and would like some suggestions from you all. I currently have a cheap chinese made bench top drill press that I picked up for about $60 a couple years ago. My current drill press has done some good work for me but I really don't think it is that safe as the pull down handle can be pulled out and this causes the spring loaded drill press head to shoot toward the ceiling which has broken the top plastic cover. This time around I am able to spend a bit more money but I am having trouble finding reviews that I trust for these small drill presses. I have looked at the Microlux drill presses from Micromark and they both seem decent but I have heard mixed reviews of them. I would definitely prefer a drill press that will, like the Byrnes sander I own, last many years and hopefully be a pleasure to use. Most of what I am finding are very similar drill presses to the one I currently have and I am skeptical to get anything that resembles my current press. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! Best Regards,

Hi. I found this while looking into designs and methods of thickness sanding. http://www.micromark.com/microlux-drum-thickness-sander,8599.html I know it's not up to Jim's standards but... Has anyone used one ? The design look's good. Bolted down to a bench for sure. Any comments... Regards Antony.
