Highly recommend this press.
For a small shop.

WEN 4210T 10 in. Drill Press with Laser

Thats a beauty.

Ive been wanting to get a drill press, and was looking at Harbor at some online. It would make life so much easier.

But yes I can see how going too fast with it could make things worse if not careful. But it looks like a really handy piece of equipment.

Yes... I highly recommend a drill press. You do have to be careful but they usually have adjustable RPMs and work quite well to drill off screw heads. FYI... Even if you get one that has a keyed chuck, you can probably find a replacement keyless for it, which I'd highly recommend!

I have looked all over for small screw extractors and I could never find one that small. That would be a great alternative. The other alternative and also a last resort would be to dremmel a slot on to the screw head

Yeah I guess I've never used them on anything smaller than a 3.5mm.

Thanks for the tip. If I do buy one I'll look for 1 with a keyless chuck or an aftermarket keyless.

Solution, tiny center drills spun backwards. #1
I’ve used this method before.
