Bought one about 3 months ago for the same reasons (thought I could use the sander). Immediately wished I had bought the Delta (the other brand my dealer offers). Overall poor quality.

That's too bad to hear. Was hoping for a good response.

I guess I'll have to search around for best Drill Presses under $250.00

Thanks

I'll put in my 2 cents on my Delta bench top. Overall good quality but the short spindle travel gives me fits about half the time.
