We've got a pair of Clausing drill presses about that size at work,
and they drill 1600-2000 2" thick pieces of steel a day, 20 hours a
day, 5-6 days a week. And they never break down. If you need that
kind of capicity, then yeah, they're worth it. If you're drilling two
holes a month in pineywood, then no, it's a waste of money.
I'd give you my opinion, but I don't want to post it three times.
