Cost is a big part of this for me.. I have a pillar drill but it doesn't run true.. just a cheap one.. I think it got bashed in the move as the bit wobbles a fair bit will be trying to fix but the fastest and cheapest way was to do it on the lathe. That and wanted the chuck as have seen a couple demonstrations that required one for advanced projects.. ok I am putting the cart way in front of the horse but I am an old boyscout. .. Be prepared and all that
