My Dremel drill press is of the old design with the table that moves up and down, that's not an issue. While on the subject, when buying a drill press, always should grab the chuck, and tug back and forth in all directions to check for excessive clearance on bearings and the quill movement. Should be none apparent. When I was looking for the big drill press, I looked at Sears craftsman and others, the Delta seemed best. For high precision work, probably would want to use a dial indicator. I haven't touched the new model, will have to check it out when at the tool store. > The advantage of the old design is that there is essentially NO > side-to-side slop as the table moves up and down.
