The beloved Ships in Scale Magazine is back and charting a new course for 2026!
Discover new skills, new techniques, and new inspirations in every issue.

By the time you have your setup as you wish for a "less costly drill press" you will have spent a near amount of the Proxxon Milling machine MF70 price.
I have the Proxxon Milling MF70 and the Proxon drill press. Guess what, I use the MF70 for Milling and press drilling most of the times.
For ~$400 and Amazon free shipping you have 2 amazing tools (Milling and press drill).
Just my thoughts based on my experience. Others could see it differently.
