Default Craftsman bench-top drill press

Does anybody have this 10" model? If so, how do you like it. The reviews are mixed.

I see many have the larger 12" model. Perhaps I should just go for that one at $90 more... any other suggestions?

Thanks!
Dave

Dave, my advise, go with the 12 inch, for the money there is a lot of difference, quill travel for one. The 12 inch is just better made and if it had been available when I bought mine I would have gotten it.
