Hi all,
finally got myself a Dremel drill press today and wanted to report on it. I have only used it for may be 1/2 hour yet, but, I'm glad I did this and I wish I had done it earlier. That is, once I got it put together, which wasn't at all trivial (and I have some experience reading technical documentation).
So, once I got the thing put together it worked perfectly and I may actually make more than below minimum wage in the drilling part of my drilled seeds. I only drilled a few Royal Poinciana seeds so far, but now the marking takes longer than the drilling. I feel like I could actually drill seabeans and kukui nuts now (real kukui nuts, not the tumbled beyond recognition ones you can buy in stores and on Ebay). As those can take larger holes I may find long enough drill bits too (my 1/16" ones won't go all the way through).
