I decided to forego a drill press and got a Nova G3 for drilling instead, I'm very happy with this decision. I've been doing my drilling with the standard jaws, which has proven somewhat difficult, especially for longer blanks. I ordered the Nova Pin jaws (arriving tomorrow, I'm excited), my thought being that I can use these jaws for other things even if they are not great for drilling. Also, I'm a little apprehensive about the Nova Pen Plus jaws due to the quality issues that they have had. Has anyone out there drilled with both the Pin and Pen jaws, is there a noticeable difference? I'm only making 5 or so pens per week, so a minor improvement probably won't be worth it for me.
