Budget Bench Drill

Wasn't sure where to put this so, decided General Chat was the safest:

I'm considering a bench drill for a timber project; I need to drill some 25mm diameter holes through 19mm Iron Bark...

Now, I've done a test drill on some ironbark & my cordless does the job but, not as precisely as I would like..

I do have other uses for the Bench drill so, it's not just for a one off project but, don't want to spend a fortune either...

The spectrum so far ranges from an Ozito at $115 to a Bosch at $399; there are a number in between: Ryobi, Renegade, Detroit, etc...

I need it to be fairly precise, otherwise I'll just do it by hand... does anyone have any experience (good/bad/indifferent) with a budget Bench drill that they could share with me please?

Cheers
