What a nice neighbor to have. Ditto on all the cautions about making sure the drill press won't tip. I inherited my Dad's cast iron Craftsman floor model, made before I was, and I looked at the original packing sheet for it. Shipping weight 302 pounds! The mobile base I built is far wider and deeper than the press, and I also have a safety chain at the top to attach to different wall hooks. Once that thing starts tipping, you can't stop it. There's a reason I know that.
