Drill presses are alright, but I would never have gotten one if I knew about cheap milling machines when I bought the thing. Drill presses are great for fast hole punching in any material, but have very innacurate depth control and cannot handle any kind of sideways load. A standard 3 axis mill will work as a drill press, only more accurate and more useful.
