I have a Rigid floor press that I bought at the home cheapot and absolutely love it. I use for drilling glass with a water feed and if there is one thing you need a perfect drill for, it is drilling glass. (Lamp shade holes).
I've drilled through 3" of steel before with no issues. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
I have a 1950s era Atlas floor drill press with 1HP motor and 3 pulleys but generally leave it at the slowest speed. I love old iron. Walker Turner, Delta, and Powermatic made some great floor model machines. I like the older stuff made in the USA
