Hey Guys, RE flexiblity on the stands....FWIW, I purchased a small drill
stand from Sears....it was
a little too flexible until I tightened/"tweeked" all the Gibb screws. 
That
took care of most of the flex.  

But there was a problem with the model I have that is now ~10 
years old or so...the sector gear, inside the housing that 
allows the up/down motion, broke.  It's made of plastic!!  No amount of
glue
would repair that, so I made a replacement out of some aluminum, sawing
the teeth with a bandsaw.  It's been working that way for quite awhile 
with no issues.

If the question was directed to me ...



Never bothered to even look at the motor run out. The stand was flexible
enough that any reasonable motor run out would be a rounding error when
added to the flex from the stand.


I really had high hopes as it looked great in the pictures. And maybe it
would work for a few holes in a few boards if I took my time. But I just
didn't want to fuss with it. Broke down, bought a Proxxon [which I also
use for other things] and focused on the boards and not on the board
building tools.

What was the run out like with your Jameco drill motor?
