I have several projects that I'm in the early stages of starting that will require allot of holes to be drilled through metal brackets. Then after those projects are one, there will be more that will require a pretty constant need to drill 3/8's and 1/2 inch holes into metal for a very long time. I'm not so much concerned with precission since close will work on just about everything that I have in mind. Mostly it's just bracket building and holes to hold wood together with bolts.
I've never had a drill press and only used them a few times. My memory of them is that they drill much better through metal then a hand drill, which I absolutely hate to do. The thought of drilling a thousand holes with my hand drills terrifies me.
I don't need the best or even great. I do want good and reliable for a fair price. What should I look for and do you have any suggestions for brands, sizes and who to buy from?
Thank you,
Eddie
