    nope, it's the same thumb piece they are just drilling it differently.. if they do charge you for the difference, i think it's time to find a new pro shop..

    No, at least I haven't seen any around here that do.

    Now years ago I seen some that did, but that was when they had alot of the older drill press's around, it was a little more trouble to do them.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798
