Reply to "Opinions sought -- Microlux Variable Speed Drill Press from MicroMark"

@SteveH posted:

Having spent a lot of time using drill presses on wood, metal and plastic, I'd suggest looking for one that has an adjustable height work table.  With this MicroLux, I think it's likely you'd often need to block up your work pieces.  Blocking up makes clamping the work piece more cumbersome and less secure.  If you're drilling into metal, this often means starting with a small hole and drilling progressively larger holes to get to the size you need (even with a step bit).  Small diameter bits are generally shorter than the larger diameter bits, requiring lowering the work piece as hole size increases and bits are longer.

.

if this one is a copy from the Proxxon , then the hight can be adjusted (in europe whe have them from Proxxon)

the whole motor unit can vary in hight
