I've owned 4 different benchtop drill presses in the last 25 years. This, so far, is the best value for the money. It's heavy duty, well built, has a 3" quill travel (for pen makers, this is an important feature), and runs true. Added bonuses are the worklight, the laster pointer (first one I've ever had, and I'm surprised how much it helps), and the digital on the fly speed changes. I'm very impressed. My one complaint is the depth setting--it works fine, but instead of a quick set rotational one (I'm used to those), this one is a screw type, which takes longer to set--but is probably more accurate. All in all, a great buy, and an excellent machine for the small shop owner.
