Which one should you buy?

For most first-home workshops the Einhell TC-BD 450 is the drill press to buy: it is a genuine 450 W benchtop machine with a 13 mm chuck, a tilting table and 362 owner ratings behind it, yet it still fits on a bench and stays well under the price of the floor-standing pedestal drills that dominate search results. If you only drill small parts, jewellery or PCBs, a mini press like the Xoxomeg 200W saves money and space; if you are tight on both, the Milescraft DrillMate turns the cordless drill you already own into a passable stand-in.
