I have a drill press that I wanted to make variable speed. I looked around, and decided that a simple way to do it was buy an additional drill press that was variable speed.

I have more than one shop area, so the second one is used quite a bit too. In fact, much more so than the original. I bought a Ryobi large bench top model, and like it a lot. I have never had any trouble with the variable speed on it.

Best Wishes,
Tom
