I got a drill press from Harbor Freight Tools for $39.00 on sale.
It is 5 speed. It is the exact same one made by "Delta" sold
at LOWES for $100.00
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44506
It is normally $ 59.00 , but it goes on sale often for $39.00
It works great! It is made by Central Machinery.
Also I got a Dremmel type tool for $15.00 Which is made by Chicago
Tools also available at Harbor Freight Tools.
I have a Irwin "Unibit" which drills holes in aluminum like it is butter.
You can find one cheap on ebay. They are about $32.00 at
Lowes. I have a larger Unibit I got off Ebay for $10.00
It would be cool to have META for frontpanels.
On the old TT forum there was a mention of people sending their
files to Par metal so we could order an engraved panel
from them which is a good idea. :idea:
