HI Dave
Having used both for drilling I would use the drill press any day.
I have not milled with the drill press yet and have ordered milling bits for it.
Between the two the drill press is far more accurate, re: the dremel, I made my own
rig for the
dremel using a large nut that was the same thread as the dremel tools . This nut is
welded to a
2 inch washer to which I attached a bracket that will let me mount the dremel tool
onto a
vertical bar. Crude but stable.
I am using the 1/2 hp craftsman drill press and I love it - although there are more
accurate ones
the price also increases.
For 100$ the dremel is great - especially the pro unit which has a digitally
controlled rpm and a bit more torque.
Cheers Ferdinand.
