I've been using the Proxxon TBM 115 drill press. It comes with 6
collets (1 mm, 1.5mm 2.0mm, 2.4mm, 3mm, 3.2mm). An optional chuck is
available for tools up to 6 mm (.24"). It has 3 speeds, 1800, 4700 &
8500 rpm.
There are also a number of optional vises & an xy table available
for it.
I just recently completed a job that required 18 ga (.040") holes to
be drilled through the center of 12 ga (.081") square wire on aprox
.120" centers. One #60 bit (.040") lasted through 320 holes.
The Proxxon Drill is a German engineered & built tool. Depending on
where you get it, the cost is between $160 & $200.
