    You're good at presentation. It's shocking how many people do products reviews and are terrible at it; most that I've seen. Keep up the good work! Helped me out!

    This is on sale for $79.99 as an Inside Track Club member-only deal from 12/5/23 thru 1/4/24. I don't see how I can NOT get one at that price. Thanks for reviewing.

    @davidecasassa8679 2 месяца назад

    I recently tried one of these and was disappointed to find that it had unacceptably large runout; remounting the chuck several times did not help. In addition, there was visible flex of the table and column under heavy load, as when drilling a large diameter hole in a hard material (e.g. steel alloys) at slow speed. Flexing will result in a hole that is not square to the plane of the material; in thicker materials, the hole will curve and the bit will bind, or possibly even snap.. If your intent is to use this drill press for woodworking, with shallow holes in soft woods and thin sheet goods, it should be OK.
    Moral: you get what you pay for. I returned it to HF and got a full refund. In their favor, their associates seem to have a fair amount of discretion in whether to charge a restocking fee, and are pretty reasonable if they believe that you had a problem with the item. I'm sure that it also helped that I returned it unused, clean and repacked exactly as it was shipped.
