In addition to the option we reviewed above, I would definitely take a look at the 30-140 by Rikon and the 30-251 by Rikon. Both Rikon and Rikon are well known for their premium quality Drill Presses. both of these distinct tools received very good customer reviews also. The Rikon received a rating of 3.1/5 when contrasted against the 3.1/5 star rating given to the Rikon 30-251.

The 30-140 by Rikon has a couple of features you wont find on other similar Benchtop Drill Presses. One example is 5 spindle speeds 620-3100 RPM. The Rikon 30-251 however, is tough to beat featuring MT-2 Spindle taper and even 5 Spindle speeds 620-3100 RPM.

I wouldn't hesitate to suggest either of these Radial Drill Presses
