So I need to drill out some deep 3/8" holes 5" and 9" deep. Now I ditched my drill press but my old one was only a 4 quill travel. I will eventually replace that drill press that would handle the 5" deep hole but obviously it wouldn't help with the deeper one. I'm probably going to pickup a "cheapo" bench top drill press with 2" travel. So here's my question:
Can I just keep raising the table to get more quill depth. I believe that will make my holes less accurate but maybe not enough to matter for these. for the 9" long one I figured I'll have to drill from both sides vs getting a long bit and raising the table over and over.
Thoughts?
