It's done everything I've asked of it thus far. It has no problem at all starting at low speed. Setup took less than an hour. Great Stationary Drill Press for the money. It's really a great machine!

"Pretty heavy duty."
It's really a great machine! I really like this drill press for the money. I would buy it again the next chance I get. The table is adequate and easy to adjust. It has no problem at all starting at low speed.
