Yeah, that would be the one. Disregard HF rec. Sorry
Thanks for pointing out the Ryobi products. Ryobi is making a very nice line of home workshop tools now. They run $100 for each tool (drill press, band saw, drum sander.) I've seen nothing but positive reviews on these. I would, however, avoid Ryobi's lower end table saw. I have the BST-10 and it's pretty much useless.....Colin
and he was right. When it come to drill presses what you most want to consider,though, is the distance from the spindle to the vertical rail. The smallest presses will allow you to drill on-center only six inches from the workpiece edge; you're better off to spend another 30 bucks or so to have a decent size throat opening.
Ryobi does make very good stuff for the money, but when it comes to table saws on the cheap it's tough to beat Sears, especially when on sale, which they usually are.
It's more iron than I could deal with. Besides, using hole saws that I have (up to 3" ) it looks like using one of these high power, high torque tools would prevent a reasonable amount of 'nibble control' afforded by straight vertical tool setup.
If the actuall cutout size is listed at 3 11/16, then which of the hole saws would be the correct one to get?
I have noted that if the hole saw is listed at 3", then 3" will be the final cutout. Measuring the hole saw itself shows that the units are made to account for kerf removal.
