This machine (or a very similar variant - likely from the same factory) is fairly widely distributed in Europe with a few spec differences as an Optimum Opti BF 20 vario: Just wondering if anybody can report experience of using a Grizzly G0704 BF 20 class dovetail column mill/drill or a variant (see below) as a woodworking drill press with light milling capability too: and Are they practical in this sort of use, is the quality decent, and do they give trouble/have issues or strong suits? the similar (?) square column Rong Fu - the older round column types don't hold registration as they are raised and lowered. Some of the FOG (Felder guys) are keen on e.g. ![]() Mill drills seem to be a pretty viable option. Old iron is possible, but is in short supply and very expensive over here. We've had a couple of threads on pedestal drilling solutions where we more or less concluded that there wasn't a lot available out there in a woodworking oriented quality pillar drill these days.
