Great value
It is a great tool and affordable for a hobbiest. I used it very hard right out of box for a project and have had not one issue. Will buy from you again.

does everything and more
This drill press replaced an old drill press. I does everything the old one did (drill holes) and more. Also like the on and off switch.

Perfect
Easy set up and operation. I am a novice and its the perfect beginners drill press.
