which milling machine

thinking of buying a milling machine but can't decide on to go for belt driven or gear driven.

I wont to use this machine as a drill, to replace my relic of a bench drill, as well as for milling work.

the belt driven machines I'm looking at are all 12 speed (100-2080rpm) 2 hp models, but the gear driven ones are only six speed (80-1300rpm) 1.5/2 hp.

I'm concerned the limited speed range may be a problem when drilling especially small drill sizes.

Intertested in ppls thoughts
