I'd appreciate any input, from any imamothers who do bookbinding, or if they could ask their husbands, sons, fathers, brothers, etc. eho do.
TIA!

Try Ebay there is a plentitude of used and new bookbinding drills for sale. If you are just planning on using a standard press look for an old Craftsman (made in the US) or an older Skill. Stay away from the cheap junk at Harbor Freight.

Thanks. I'm just trying to figure out which is best. Craftsman does have a good name.

Old Craftsman and Skill drill presses are easily adjustable and hold up well. You can find them at garage sales or on Craig's List for under $50. Be sure that they are the old US made ones though the newer made in China ones go out of wack easily.
If you are just getting into bookbinding check out some of the youtubes on building your own bookbinding jig for a drill so you don't need a press or making your own press.

Build my own sounds interesting but maybe risky.
