This is small so you can place it where you need it to get a great working view. The plastic covers are mostly FDM 3d printed but are done nice - very well cleaned up nylon.Now, i like others had concerns it will have run out or be mounted crooked. happy to say it is all affixed well and the parts are manufactured well. It tracks straight down with no axis deviation. Mine came fully assembled and well oiled, does not appear to be a return so maybe the recent batches are pre assembled - one less thing you have to do.Onto the drilling precision because thats the only thing that matters really - it is great. i needed something for 1- 4mm work and this is great. Big presses always have some run out which is a problem at those small size holes but this has virtually none. I was able to get precision into plastic down to 0.01-0.02mm which is absolutely impressive! for instance my big press has a run out of 0.1 and up to 0.3 if i get sloppy with the setup. If you need to work on anything that will rotate, this tolerance is night and day!The vise that comes with this is meh, get yourself a better one. The set screw for the height stop is 2.5mm hole but the included hex is 2.4mm so there is some potential for stripping there. use a 2.5mmall in all absolutely recommend it for small precision work. this is not for steel! not even for thick aluminum bars. i wouldnt go past 5mm t6 stock. the motor has a lot of power even at the lowest rpm so if you are having issues, you are drilling something in a way that should not be done on this.

Incredible that you can get a machine like this for less than $100. And yes, I purchased it, and no I am not a spam/paid reviewer. It is well designed and well built. It is not supposed to be a precision industrial or laboratory grade tool, it is a hobby grade tool and for that purpose it is excellent value for the money. I was going to get a Dremel tool drill press stand, but got this instead and glad I did. Any drill press device with a mount for a drill, is vulnerable to the drill being installed off axis, resulting in wobble. This drill press is well aligned - no wobble.Only negative comment is about the instructions. There are none. You are directed to view the video for that purpose. Which is fine - is a well done video. But what happens in a year or two when the product is no longer on Amazon. So, I used the Windows Snipping Tool to record the video, and now I have my own MP4 copy. Would have been nice to just be able to download the video from Amazon.

It goes through polymer clay like it's butter, and that's on the slowest setting. Very good at drilling holes in my cured beads too. I've had these thing made for years and have only put holes in a few (by hand). This machine got through all of them in no time at all!I also used it for sanding my pieces and it was so much easier than trying to wrestle with my cordless screwdriver. I know it wasn't really meant for what I'm doing, but it worked great and I was able to concentrate on holding my piece.It is very quiet too. I was able to listen to my music while working with no issues at all.

Like a lot of reviewers here, I was prepared for disappointment. My workspace is too small for a full-size bench drill press, yet hand-drilling is just never accurate for me. This little drill press fills the need 100%. Generally good build quality, easy to assemble following the videos here on Amazon, and a nice smooth feeling to the up/down movement. No wobble or skew is apparent. The only downside is the very poor clamp part it comes with. Quite shoddy and doesn't work without a lot of cajoling. Overall, top marks on this, for the money it is a great way to do small hobbyist drilling!

I purchased this little drill press to put 1/16 holes in bronze flatware to make jewelry. I've been working this little guy pretty hard. It has worked flawless. I don't know about longevity but so far so good. Obviously this tool is only for small projects so don't get carried away.

The drill is great, it's lightweight, easy to adjust, pretty quiet, and does a fantastic job for bead work. The only criticism I have is that the vice arm is wobbly unless it is entirely closed, either by itself or with an object held by it, so the vice itself is not great for minor adjustments that you'd expect for a device designed for very small things. I'll probably be shopping for a better quality vice somewhere but the drill itself is really awesome.

The drill works just fine BUT there are no instructions and, unfortunately, the claim the the videos are great for set up, that's complete and utter bull. Essentially, there are no set=up instructions!Also, the grips to hold material are sloppy and not at all able to handle fine adjustments.It works but I'm finding it rather useless

This product is easy to assemble and it’s actually very quiet when I drill my resin charms, not like the noise the handhold drill will make. Be sure to come back to the product page and look for the instruction video if you buy it! No manual included in product package. However I think video instruction is way better!
