HAh!...Already did a couple of years ago...bought a Bridgeport milling 
machine...changed everything it did too...a wonderful toy. I also have 2 
POS's in the shop for doing un-picky hole-like stuff.

By the way, with the advent of small shop CNC, these Bridgeports can be 
had for the price of ballast.  Got mine, purchased, delivered, with a 
new excellent chuck for $1200. It did take my son and myself a full day 
to move it 8ft from the shop door to its final resting place, though.

But really, Joe, a good repairable drill press these days is a rare item.
