I have always found a floor model drill press to be the one of the most useful tools in the shop, while at the same time taking up less floor space than any other stationary tool.
A bench-top model usually has limited travel, a narrow range of speeds, and often takes up more shop space than a floor model when actually in use. Larger holes require slower speeds and short travel can make two or three step operations a set up nightmare.
I have a good floor model drill press in the wood shop and a bench-top one that usually resides on the floor behind the bigun, either there, or in my gang box on a job site.
Just a couple of things to consider.
Thanks, this was the best advise yet. Your right, the floor model doesn't take up a lot of space. What brand do you recomend?

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
