Comments & Experiences With Tabletop Hobby Drill Press?

Not interested in a "bolt your drill to this" chassis Want to bore perfectly straight no 3 and no 4 holes to be metric tapped. Any thoughts about a mini Y and Y axis vise? ...

people do precision work with hobby tools all the time

lightweight precision, does not have to mean 'industrial' sized machine shop tooling

look at the table top mini-mills used by some of the hobby machinists

any holes that can be hand drilled with a portable drill (and work)
can certainly be drilled by a table top press
