Pillar drill chuck to table height

[Penllysbach]

Hi
I'm looking to buy a pillar drill (my first) but I need a decent chuck to table height as I want to drill tall things ....
Any alerts/recommendations pls?
Thanks

... tall things equals up to around 14" high

Floor standing pillar drill max drilling depth 1180mm on this one: https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-c ... gIbIPD_BwE some a bit more some a bit less.

If I knew then what I know now I would definitely get a radial drilling machine, the increase in depth availability I have needed on more than one occasion.

If you are limited for some reason to a bench drill, drill your bench so that it can be mounted sideways so that the head will swing out over your vice.
