I tried this model (pretty sure) and was initially impressed because it's solid and reasonably well-made, but it had too much runout for my purposes so I returned it. Might have been a bad one...
I bought the cheap Wen at $10 more (also on sale), and the one I got is a lot better. Nevertheless, this is a great price for a small drill press if you don't demand precision. And runout might depend on luck!
Runout does depend on luck and before anyone suggests Harbor Freight, theirs require a lot more luck. Another thing to check for is the precision of the pullies as they can introduce vibration if off a bit.
The link doesn't work for me with Firefox but does on Chrome. Might be a browser add-on stopping it.
Got one locally
Most likely I won't open the box for another year
Happy with purchase though
No more using the employer drill press
Now I can quit and go somewhere else
