I was going to purchase one of those but I read some reviews that they were terrible. Also the shop I was trying to buy it from kept dicking around and seemed not to want to sell it to me.

In the end I bought a Proxxon rotary tool and drill stand, and I am very happy! It cost a bit more but you can get faster speeds (up to 20k RPM) instead of the 8.6k RPM or so that these drill presses do.
