>Has anyone tried Cummins $40 drill press? I'm sure it's not great, most Cummins stuff is cheap Chinese crap, but for $40 if it's equivalent to a decent hand drill in power I might be interested as a backup press. Anyone got one?

>I guess I can not help but respond. Why would you spend $40 on something that you don't need? First, your wasting you money, and second, we need to stop buying inferior products as it just puts money in the pockets of those who build an inferior product. If your drill press fails, why would one less capable be able to handle the job? Drill presses are very reliable tools.

I also believe that renting a heavy duty tool is worth the money for a heavy duty job. Cheaper, safer, faster.
