Well, after a bunch of positive YouTube vids, I decided to get the wen 4210 10" drill press. I wanted the extra capacity as well as the more HP motor over the 8". I don't have the room for a floor drill press.

It'll probably do for drilling holes on the vertical, but if you ever want to do light milling it will fail quickly. I did this with my press and the bearings crapped out very fast. I replaced them with bearings from www.bocabearings.com and it's still going strong.
You'll need to remove the original bearings and get exact measurements from the bore as well as the bearing itself to get replacements.
@DirtySCREW if you are in my area I have a good drill press you can use.

Thanks. I'm in Wilmington. I'm sure this Wen will do what I need it to. Where you located out of curiosity?

I picked up the WEN 4214 12" earlier this year. It gets great reviews and is even Sold under the Jet brand as well for $200 more. That said, the smaller WEN presses were often compared to HF and craftsman from what I read.
@rdinatal is in the Lake Norman area, North of CLT.
Thanks.
I'm a bit far from Wilmington. It took me a while to find a good drill press. I like to pay back/forward when others helped me out.
Most 'new' drills just don't meet the wobble test, for me anyway...
