First, I will say the packaging is exceptional. In another review, I compared it to Apple packaging. All the parts are machined to very tight tolerances, and the finishes are smooth.I was hoping this drill press would be great, and it has been thus far. I was really tired of hand drilling extremely small (#81, #80, #79) holes. I have used it with tungsten carbide bits, and it is easy to mount the bits with the 1/8" shank. The bits with a shank the diameter of the bit are rather difficult to get mounted straight. I found it easier to remove the entire head assembly and turn it upside down to get those mounted properly. However, I am sure that eventually, those bits can be done without doing so.The speed control works very well and is quite fast. So fast that I never have to go beyond the third or fourth mark.The machine is not loud, and the belt runs very smoothly. It is a large O-ring, and the drill press comes with an extra one.I am very pleased with this purchase. There are other drill presses which appear to be the same as this one and sold under other names. At the time I purchased this drill press, it was the least expensive. If you decide to purchase this drill press, you will not be disappointed. My only affiliation with this company is as a customer.
