    Awhile back came across a sweet deal on a WEN 12 inch variable speed Drill Press. A nice upgrade to my 8 inch, but smaller than my full size 17 1/2 in JET. So I put it next to the small 8 inch for last couple months while I decided on how I liked, or did not like the height of it. I prefer the height of the JET as far as where the quill sits. With the WEN sitting on this bench the quill is staring me in the face. Kinda hard for a short guy to use. This is how it looks with taller cabinet. So I set about making a new shorter cabinet. Did a dry fit and all looked good. Finished the insides before assembly. Then moved on to the top. So now the face frame is all assembled and fitted nicely. Some hand plane work and then bit of sanding. Put is all together for a dry fit, came out nice. Decided now would be a good time to check for fitting where it belongs. Hit the mark right on for height. Next is to move old cabinet out of way and see how the new one fits. Spot on. Put the WEN on the table and now to see if my measurements are true for lining up the quill to the quill on the JET. Not exactly on, off by maybe 3/16's. I can work with that. Now here is the dilemma. This is how it looks with the WEN centered on the cabinet. Plenty of room, access to both DP's all around. \ But stick the little guy back in the mix and we are slam full. I raised the little guy up so the quills all matched height. View from other side. Do I NEED 3 drill presses?? Certainly is nice but need, nah the new guy is more than up to the task and it is Variable speed. I rarely part with equipment preferring to expand my capability rather than sell a piece of equipment off. For giggles I put the small DP on the graffiti cabinet next to it and that is not working for me. Hard to access the cabinet behind. No further space exist large enough to accommodate the small guy. Hate to part with equipment and the extra capability but at some point hey, maybe this ain't gonna work? Maybe @Cal needs a small 8 inch DP????? Any ideas or suggestions??
