A magnetic base drill is no substitute for a drill press. Ask yourself what type of work you will do most of and then choose wisely, considering what the chosen machine can and cannot do. Things like drilling a round shaft or pipe and also the depth of cut.
I love using mag drills and rotabroaches, but I don't personally own one, but I do own a 2 good drill presses.

Arboga radial arm drill - the baby one, only weighs maybe a tonne. Cost me $400. 4MT, can run a 50mm dia drill into 40mm plate, no problems, using power feed.
Good luck finding one though.
The cheap Chinese drill presses - take the claimed drilling capacity, assume that's for hardwood or aluminium, de-rate to 50% for A36 steel and you might not be disappointed.
I have 2 of them, one set up just for wood, the other for small holes up to 10mm, 12mm at a pinch. Over that forget it, the belt can't handle it.
Like all machine tools, the only way you get good AND cheap is to buy old, and wait for one to come along.

I found a couple nice machines on gumtree but im locked down to 5kms radius which is a pitty as one machine is 10kms away and the seller doesnt have transport to meet half way
I was really happy i got that hare and forbes floor sale but really bummed they pulled the pin on me, 10 hours later the add is still up on there web site so i can see consumer afairs sinking them a new hole on the 18th but for me im over it i just want the refund to be quick and hassel free
I cant really find anything 1hp-750w for my money that appears decent
One thing i wanted a drill press to do is make a sleeve 30-40mm tall ghat i could loctite a bearing in instead of making one on a lathe asi sold my lathe months ago

Took a while to drill actually timed it 24mins using 600 and 900rpm, second hole took around 17mins 26mm hole TCT carbide hole saw from ebay on a 1/3rd hp ryobi
Can't imagine how much faster the 1hp drill press from hare and forbes would have been

After getting a gear head drill for a steal, I'd never go back to a belt drive. If you ever spy one going cheap, jump on it!

I had no problem with belt slippage only the motor stopped when i went too hard, cant imaging pressing much harder tho unless the hole saw spins at 50 rpm and just peels the metal out, the steel felt like it had a really hard layer within the thickness that probably took up most of the drilling time

I looked up hole saw speeds a few days ago and it said 2000rpm for a 25mm size i too thought it was a fast speed hence i started on 600rpm today but the hole saw was bitting down stalling the drill so i tried 900rpm it had more torque alot more power without the spindle stalling while still cutting
I only had probably half a kilo or less of down force
