You might be better off buying a smallish radial arm drill. As said above, an older machine will often be built to a much higher standard.

Meddings or maybe an old Startrite if you can find one. I've got a Meddings MF10 I think it is, lovely old machine. Bit noisy now but works great and they last forever.

Been at a couple of engineering liquidations, notable was among all the high tech gear was the Startrite and Meddings drills in the tool room.

Might try giving Meddings a ring.
I have just sold them back an articulated arm drill for refurb.
I gather they do this all the while.
