Reply to "Opinions sought -- Microlux Variable Speed Drill Press from MicroMark"

I bought one and it was just okay.  The chuck was rather crude and had noticeable run out.  After a year, or so, of moderate use, the switch failed (yeah, happens to the best of them).  I replaced it and all seemed well again.  I mentioned I had one to Dennis M. and he asked if I wanted to trade for his Cameron (he really wanted the digital readout).  I agreed to the exchange and I feel I got a way better machine with the Cameron.  I suppose it should be...they cost 3 or 4 times as much.

Also have one of the Harbor freight specials and I use it for heavier drilling.

After using many small drill presses, even an old Unimat, I would say, if you can afford it, and want accuracy the Cameron is the way to go.

As Bob often states, opinion only.
