Although I had to drill holes to fit my Craftsman drill press, the basic setup was reasonably easy.  The result was a very sturdy little stand -- perfect for many bench top tools.  Its weight and construction make for a very stable base.  Comparing it to, for example, a similar stand (sold by the same store from which I bought the drill press,) there is simply no comparison to be made.  This Delta stand is far superior.  I will probably buy another soon for my bench grinder.
