i must say it seems quality, wont know till i work with it some, i realy like the digital depth readout and the electric speed control. the not flimsy at all(thank god) fence will come in handy for the BLOK, thats actualy one of the main reasons i got this one. sorry about the pic, bri  |

Brian,
I will be making a video soon on how to check the square of the press and a few other things. I ran out of time to do it before the race today, but look for it in the next day or two. Clean the press really well and turn it on and let it run for a hour or so to break it in. Mine runs smooth as silk and I have had no issues. I know someone said they had belt issues with theirs, but I havent had a singe issue that I did not create.

I have a x-y table for mine I don't use; if ether of you would be interested in it worked great but to slow for me when adjusting; like new didn't use long, probably drilled 5 or 6 cars with it.

Shouldn't you be paying attention to the road and not trying to buy things on the forum? |

My drill press has very large runout. These drill presses look like a good investment. It usually takes me along time to find the "sweet spot" on my cars. A drill press like this might be a good thing to invest in. However, my beautiful wife would kill me!  Murph |
