Hello Zee

    I can't give you any comment about the Foredom drill press but I can
    on the Proxxon. I got a micromot FBS 230/E and an Industrial model
    IB/E. Both have a variable speed (5000 to 20.000). They both come
    with concentricity collets in fixed sizes ( The advantage of the
    micromot over the industrial one is that the lose chuck that Proxxon
    sells will fit on it. No collets are needed then You can fix a hair
    with it ;) if you want. The industrial machine can take longer
    working time. 

    I got the industrial one fixed in the drill stand MB140/S and got a
    XY table KT70 fixed on the drill stand. The XY table is really good
    for precision (I'm very happy with it) The fixing from the drill
    stand to the industrial machine takes a good force to get it fixed
    stable (I'm not such strong girl in my hands after all) This is
    where a fixed one is probably better I can't tell for I never used
    one. 

    The foot peddle is very handy. I can't tell you if a drill with 3
    speeds will go "step less" when you use one. It works great on the 2
    machines that I got.

    I'm not working for Proxxon I'm just use one and I'm very happy with
    what I got. It gives me the precision that I need.
