I have an older HF $40 drill press (green and all metal) and it is fine except the chuck is a real piece o' junk and I broke the power switch after a long while. But I've had this thing 6+ years probably. I've run some big bits and hole saws in that sucker though, and plenty of power. Works fine. I looked at the newer HF $40 drill press and it looks fine too. Only real problem with both of them is I noticed the quill has slop in the head casting. I mean, it'll drill fine. But, its not for real real precise drilling.
