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

One spec rarely given is the drill chuck. Most cheaper ones have a lot of runout. A number 80 drill bit is only .0135” diameter. The runout of many chucks due the jaws not closing evenly can exceed this. You can improve many less expensive drill presses by replacing the chucks with a Jacobs or better yet Albrecht chuck though the latter is likely more expensive than the drill press you just bought.
