Nope, not at all.  I'm using a MasterCraft drill press model # 55-5917-0.
It looks a lot like this unit:
http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_i
d=845524441897707

It has speeds of 570, 900, 1390, 2090 and 3050 with a built-in lamp, very
useful.  It is set at 3050 RPM right now and I've done many circuit boards
with it.  The shaft rotates true and doesn't break any tiny carbide bits.
