For me the old pillar drill left ready for blank drilling any time fitted a one hp motor lock the chuck in with a threaded rod had it for twenty years (Taiwanese) now used it for every thing imaginable for the first fifteen years. Renewed the bearings at purchase time threw away the first chuck binned it bought a larger capacity one. I read the hints on a metal work forum never regret it. Prefer drilling on this drill. The lathe dedicated to pens easier for me.

Every solution that fits in with the user is great.
