So what you're saying is that you need access to a drill press and want to kill two birds with one stone?

No dad has been wanting one for quite sometime and he has everything he needs for his camaro but the kooks headders and there's no way I'm going to be able to afford that

I have the largest harbor freight one made. Has the big rectangle table. Crank busted quickly and parts are not available. Other than that it has 1.5 hp and will take a large jacobs chuck. I use the crap out of mine and really work it hard. I had the one with the round table before that and it was a piece of junk. When dealing with the cheap chinese crap buy the best oen they have or don't bother. Unfortunately I think you could spend 3 times as much on a craftsman and not really do any better.
