However, the quill does have a slight wooble and the motor is weak. First of all, I paid $39 for this item during a close-out sale at a local big-box retailer. Accordingly, my opinions are bias by my low cost.The unit is pretty good for drilling small (1" diameter or less) holes in wood. Considering my cost, I can live with these short-falls. If I had paid full-price $99+, I would be very disappointed.
Have only used it on wood projects so far, but it set up easily and works perfectly in my home shop. No complaints here -- nice little machine.
It's nice and heavy so I didn't even worry about it tipping over as my initial uses where done without fastening down the unit. The light is untested. Overall this machine has preformed exactly as I expected it to. The instructions probably could have been clearer on a few things. I feel however that this is a fine drill press for small projects.
I am a small time wood worker who turns pen and pencil on a lathe. Black & Decker drill press works great for drilling the center holes. It has a 2 1/4 stroke which allows its to drill a hole without repositioning the blanks. Easy to use and built very well for a small bench press.Very satisfied with this amazing product.
