Default VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL FOR DRILL PRESS

I am in the market for a variable speed control for my Drill Press and figured I'd ask here if anyone has experience with them and which models and brands are worth looking into. Since the motor is a 3/4 HP induction type this may or may not be possible and I may just have to switch the belts.

My drill press speeds can be varied from 200 - 3600 rpm's but that requires moving the V-Belts of course. Not a real big deal, but since I use the press so often and on so many different materials I though a nice speed control would be nice.

Thanks in advance for your responses and Happy New Year!

Regards,
Chief38
