Shopping for a drill press

[joycetang]

I'm considering buying the Tradesman 8080S 13" Drill Press for $139.99 at amazon.com. Does anyone have this drill press and if so, wht do you think of it? It seems to be a good deal. Or any other recommendations would be very welcome too! Thanks!

I bought this drill press from Amazon at the end of March. For the price, the deal which includes free shipping, and the fact that it drills nice round holes, it is a KILLER drill press. Just thinking about it brings tears to me one good eye[]

I have the 17" and love it.

Yeah, what Billy said.

The 17" DP went up to $280, so I'm hoping it will go back down, but if not the 13" DP would be big enough too I think.
