Title: For the price... it is GREAT
Review: I bought a Delta SM300 unit from Amazon in March 2008. It was just $99 with free SuperSaving shipping, and no sales tax, a great price for a solid bench drill press. Most of the parts are cast iron or machined steel. The unit runs smoothly with very minimal vibration. Nice accurate holes every time. I have only two minor complaints. The cardboard shipping box is not really strong enough for this drill press. The heavy parts shifted in transit and broke a small 1/4 piece of plastic off of the back of the pulley cover. I just glued it back on, but still it was an annoyance. The other complaint is that the motor seems to have a very slight "hot oil" smell after 20 minutes of continuance use. Overall, I am very pleased with this drill press. I have a larger floor model at work, but for my home use, this bench top unit is great.
