I have been thinking and wanting to buy a drill press. Just a basic simple economical drill press will do because its only for personal use. So I need opinions from you guys, based on your experience which is it gonna be from? Jayhawk or Innovative? coz I think both are good.

That's an easy one, as Mo would say: Innovative! John Jameson spends some time on these forums and chimes in when he feels he has something worth saying. Support the locals! :P

Having said that, there is a guy on BBE selling a press and some bits for about $1100US. It's a JayHawk press, though. AND he lives in OH and doesn't want to ship the press, so that may not be an option for you.

John Jameson is also known as ballspinner here at bowlingchat in case you were not aware. Customer service at Innovative is second to none. PM John if you have any questions, I am sure he would love to hear from you.

Ok, I have actually emailed him to add the Kaufman scale in the Starter package and waiting for the package price and shipping quotations.
