Boom!
I had my eye on the SIP F32-20 Floor Pillar Drill. What attracted me to it is the massive table, which I think will be really useful. Unfortunately, it doesn't have variable speed though (relies on changing pulleys). I've always told myself that my next drill must have variable speed as having used it in someone else's shop, ...it's such a game changer.
It seems like only the cheaper models, like the SIP 01535 Floor Variable Speed Drill Press have variable speed? Whats up with that?
Axminster don't even have any machines with variable speed (other than their engineering ones).
There are of course the Nova electronic variable speed drills, but they're out of my price range really.
Seems like variable speed on lathes (Reeves Drive) has been around for ages. Why is it still pretty uncommon with drill presses?
