Moke,
I have the OPPOSITE problem. I have made my old 8in Craftsman DP work for +21yr, regardless of its shortcomings. Often have to make drill-guides for bigger drilling jobs than the 8in DP can handle.

NOW, thanks to a complimentary subscription to WOOD from WoodworkingWeb, my very second Wood magazine had a “Grizzly 10% OFF Coupon” included! Being a big Grizzly fan, this has put me into a tailspin of a shopping spree! I am ordering new carbide cutters for my jointer, new beading tools for my lathe, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST…
I can’t make up my mind on buying either the Grizzly 17in or the 20in Drill Press.
Either way, I am ordering the Woodpecker DP Table & Fence to go with it.

So help me decide! I use my little 8in all of the time, so I know that I will get good use out of a second “larger” DP, so… …?
