Willie.
It's mainly keeping the current position or zero point. I have drilled a hole, then found out I have to raise the head to fit a larger bit. When I crank the head up it can swing side to side sometime moving to the side 3/8-1/2". Then I have to spend time trying to line up with the work piece again.
I wouldn't mind so much if it was a knee style since from what I have seen on videos you can raise and lower the table and it stays lined up with the current position. Most of the time I have the quill extended almost as far as it will go just so I can fit the longer drills etc. Which i know isn't the best practice either.
I know in the skeam of things it's kind of minor to have to re-establish the position. But I find it to be a huge pain.
