Same here. But you gotta HOPE for a better-than-usual chuck on those
Pacific Rim macines, or, replace with Jacobs before ever turning it on! Sometimes
it helps to find an "O-ring" type belt to replace the V-belt, which are often
"nasty" and cause noise just be rotating around the pulleys! But this would
only be for that fastest speed, NOT for "slow, 1/2" dia. metal-drilling
speed"!
