1st drill press I've owned & with the limited use it's seen, so far it's worked well. I read thru many of the reviews. Didn't have any problems with assembly - went together easily. There are a few points though that could be addressed. I realize this isn't a $400 drill press, but:
1. Is it really that difficult to have the drill head pressed on at the factory? The buyer shouldn't have to hammer the head on.
2. The laser really isn't necessary, nor does it line up very well. With or w/o it I'm still going to manually set my drill point.
3. Don't care for having to switch pulleys to change speed. How much more difficult would it have been to add a variable speed pulley or motor.
4. I'd really like to see the Craftsman products made in the USA.
That said, so far it works very well for the small projects I work on.
Also purchased the 3" quick release vise - nice addition to hold small parts firmly.

Assembly went well, which the exception that you had to constantly clean the grease off your hands when you touched the metal parts. I guess the grease is to protect the metal, but they sure used enough of it. The fact that the chuck is simply wedged onto a tapered shaft indicates to me that there could be some chuck alignment problems.
I put a 1/4" drill bit in the chuck, and turned on the press. I estimate that the end of the drill bit wobbles approximately 1/8". This is not acceptable, and it shows that the chuck is not aligned properly. I used other drill bits and they had the same problem.
I recently purchased a small drill press from **************, and it assembled the same way, and had the same drill bit wobble. I returned it. I think all of these Chinese drill presses are made in the same factory.
The drill press goes back tomorrow.
I used to have a 12" Delta press that I got about 30 years ago. The bits ran straight and true. No wobble. I guess those days are gone.

See all reviews for this productI shopped around quite a bit before buying this drill press and my homework paid off. This drill is very versatile, but compact. Exactly what I needed!
I've owned one of these for about three years. At first it worked just fine, but now I'm looking to replace it. While the bits spin straight and true in the air, as soon as they touch material (generally plastic or wood) the bits immediately begin tilting to the right, making it very difficult to line up holes accurately.
I'm going to get used to this... I was avoiding cost in workbench space, but this has earned it's keep. Hand drilling angled holes for wine racks was perfectly do'able, but on my gosh, having the right tool for the job for the last 30 or so holes makes buying a drill press very worth it. I have no other models to compare it to as I am not in the tool profession, but this has served me just fine. Enjoy.
Got this as a Christmas gift from my wife, and set it up that day (about a half-hour's work).
Set up was easy, operation a breeze. After putting the unit together and playing with it a bit, I wondered what all the fuss of some of the other reviewr's was about.
Most of the negative reviews I believe come from people who think that you should get $1000 quality for $125, and really have no business operating power tools. If you have a problem with the unit being underpowered, get a bigger unit. If you have a problem with having to manually change the belt to change speeds, get an automatic unit. If you have a problem with the chuck running true, assemble the unit correctly.
The only two gripes i truly have are these:
To sum up; nice unit, nice price. I'm well pleased.
