    I'd like to ditto Noel's posting. I also bought a cheapo drill press
    from Harbor Freight, and it has met my modest needs. If I used it
    everyday for hours, you'd better believe I'd have bought a better
    (more expensive) model, but I don't use it that often. I like the
    Jacobs chuck which holds the tiniest drill bits and I use it on the
    slowest speed. Noel's right - changing the belt to change the speed
    is awkward. Occasionally I break a bit, but not very often. Sooooo
    much easier than drilling by hand with my flex shaft! It was a great
    buy for $39!
