How about an Edlund? The smallest model might work in a home shop. They don't come up very often, but I've seen 3 on CL in my area in the last few months.
How about an Electro Mechano 20" ?

Yes, I saw that EM20 a few days back. Looks like it may a couple of hours from me.How about an Electro Mechano 20" ?

Also, I believe Buffalo Machines still makes their own drill presses.

What do you think one in decent shape is worth? I would need to get a panel and VFD to run it. Just went through that on a lathe. It is not a problem, just time and more money that must be considered in the total cost.
If you are going to spend $1K – $2K, I would get a Bridgeport mill. It’s like a drill press on steroids. And can still be moved with a cherry picker…Dave
