Title: One of my better purchases
Product review: This drill press had the specs I was looking for: plenty of spindle travel and variation in speed. The speed is simple to change, and I've never noticed the rattle others complained about. There was a bit of rust on the table upon arrival, but a little wet sanding with WD-40 took care of it, and Top Cote kept it from coming back. The depth setting works like a charm! I've heard others complain about the mortising attachment, but I rout mine so have no experience with that.Read the instructions all the way through before beginning assembly so you know what you're getting into. Had I done that I would have mounted the base on wood before the drill was assembled. The head is a little heavy, so you might want to consider mounting it before you lift the pedastal up. Personally, I didn't find it particularly difficult to lift onto the upright...but if you do it make sure your support is rock solid and steady. This is not something you want to fall backwards with!
