drill press recommendations?

2006-08-16 by circuitmangler

Hello,

I am in the market for a drill press to drill my homebrew pcbs, and I
was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Here are some options
I have been considering:

- Dremel tool + Dremel 220-01 workstation
- a 10" bench-top drill press (like a Ryobi DP101 available
  at Home Depot)

The Dremel tool + 220 stand will cost anywhere from $100 - $150
depending on the tool I get. Does it work well for drilling PCBs?
A 10" bench-top drill press seems to cost about $100. Are there any
other options? I would say $150 is probably the upper end of my
budget, and I'd like to get by with spending less if possible.

Thanks for your help,

cm
