Re: Bench Top Machines
Most of this has been said already but:

We have both a band saw and drill press, but both are full sized. We thought about going bench top, but realized that our build room may not be permanent, and that we may not get to keep the tables that we are currently using. Both of these devices are powered on a regular commercial room circuit; No special power is needed. We have no problem cutting 1/4" aluminum.

Now for the interesting bit. We went to Lowes when they were changing their display items. We got the band saw and drill press that were on display for a great % off (don't want to post number because I don't want to hold Lowes to this.) This made the full sized machines cheaper than the bench top machines. We love our drill press and band saw!

I can get specific model #s when I go back to the shop on Monday.

Just some info.
Jacob
