However, Craftsman has a model with the exact same feature-so it's apparently not that innovative. The laser is nothing new to drill presses either. At AWFS, they said that this drill press was designed for the woodworker. Wider base, easy crank-style speed adjust, larger table with removable insert... Innovative or not, it's still a very nice drill press. I think the depth gauge is the big deal on this one.

Or is everyone just using it for approximations before actually bringing the drill down and seeing exactly what it's about to start drilling into. Does anyone rely on the laser?

Now, where does a big fat laser dot fall into that procedure? I guess if I was drilling bolt holes in 2x4s for a workbench, or something, it would be OK, but I would rather have a really bright LED light on the work piece than a laser.
