Thx for infos guys!
g.l.amour: A few months ago, I bought a drill press for somewhat 55 euro equivalent, it's cheapo' but it works fine for me. I usually keep it in basement (every apartement here has it's small portion of basement area, so I can keep my biggie stuff there), and when I want to work with it, I simply bring it to my balcony or kitchen. It's weight is somewhat 20 kg, so it's not a problem. I fixed mine onto one large piece of MDF to give it more stable base. For some time I kept it in my grandma's house, but, when I need it, I bring it here into apartement.
Volenti: On die cooling is critical, so redundant water supply is almost a must. I'm glad you succeeded.
Did you experience any damage to the serial driven pumps, mentioned by decodediesel?
/edit/ This drill press is not 'too' noisy, so the neghbours won't be bothered, there's more noise when you vaccuum clean...
