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"!
