Bill- I found this thread on the topic as well:
http://www.polytechforum.com/metalworking/acceptable-drill-press-runout-116816-.htm
Although it’s on a metalworking forum, the post is about acceptable runout for woodworking. It seems like most of the guys suggest removing the chuck and checking for runout on the Morse taper section of the spindle.

Digital might work, but this one has a more classic feel:
I’m redesigning it with a mid-century Scandinavian teak base, and a rustic knotty pine/T1-11 OSB top. I’ll let you know as it shapes up.
Daryl, by coincidence, I noticed a joinery saw with a depth stop in the Japan Woodworking catalog last week:http://www.japanwoodworker.com/Product/156947/9-Joinery-Saw-with-Depth-Stop—Kondo.aspx
Maybe it’s a trend. I agree it seems like a solution in search of a problem.
