How to start

[Vinny]

Quick drilling jobs, power tapping, awkward shaped and/or sized pieces, etc. The table on a drill press is typically smaller and moves around easier whereas the mill does not. It's just easier and more convenient for simple drilling jobs - especially if you already have something set up on the mill then find you need to drill something. If you find the need to sell the drill press, however, perhaps you can pick up a cheap used floor standing drill press.

Since you're planning on visiting the factory/show room, see if there are other choices or options for the spindle.
