superterrific drill machine
Smaller in size than I expected but still perfectly usable for my purpose (drilling PCB through-holes). Spindle and collet system run true enough to easily drill 0.3mm holes. I can't do 0.2mm or 0.25mm reliably but then I haven't bolted down the machine for extra stability like they recommend. Also I'm holding the workpiece freehand rather than clamping it down securely. In any case, this drill machine beats a dremel rotary tool mounted in their $50 drill stand by a large margin.Initially there was problem with the machine when I opened it to change the belt to the higher-speed setting. The "set screws" for the motor-side "gear thingy" were coming out and would clearly eat into the belt as it operated. These set screws are basically intended to stay "sunked in" on the high-speed track of the motor-side gear thingy. So I tightened them as best I could but when I turned on the machine, the centrifugal force caused them to roll back out and damage the belt. I explained my situation to proxxon support and thankfully they sent a new belt by express mail at no charge. I've taken out the set screws entirely and it seems to work OK so I'm not sure what they're really good for. If you get one with loose set screws I personally recommend removing them rather than trying to secure them properly. AFAICT, it's not easy to secure them because there is no "head" to these screws.

Very well built tool for fine drill work
I'm on the fence between 3 and 4 stars but I gave Proxxon the benefit of the doubt on this one. It's a quality drill press designed to do one thing very well and it does make precise holes using small drill bits.Plusses:High quality - very well built and very precise for drilling replicable holescan accommodate both specific drill bits for the mini chuck (1/32 - 1/8 inch size chucks are provided) and a universal chuck (not provided)quiet and smooth operationMinuses:definitely pricey for what you get; others have suggested including a vise and universal chuck would be nice for this costLimited up and down movement (and hole depth possible), although this is expected for a small drill press, I would say.I find it difficult to precisely line up with the spot where I need the hold drilled.Overall, it's a keeper, but don't underestimate the amount of time it will take for precise positioning of your substrate to get a small hole where you need it. In the end I usually poke a small pinhole in my substrate and then take the drill bit down to the substrate to confirm it's in the right place before turning it on and drilling the hole. It's great when the vise can hold things in place, but that's not often the case with my substrates for r/c model plane components.

Excellent Light Duty Drill Press
The PROXXON Precision Bench Drill Press is a small machine with limited size and power, but that is what it is made for.Even with those limitations I have been able to complete a decent amount of drilling and countersinking various types of soft steels. It does a great job and the portability is very convenient.I purchased and use the optional chuck.

really impressive engineering
I had previously bought the small drill press that is available at many places, under different brand names (at least in pics they appear the same, sometimes different colors), for approx $100.00 and it was fine but I had not seen this one when I bought that one. So through no fault of its own (I was carelessly moving the table and it fell off), I broke its base (though, impressively, it still worked) and that gave me excuse to get this one as a replacement. This is a huge upgrade. well worth the higher price. This Proxxon is significantly better and well-engineered, easier to adjust, has a built-in straight edge to line up and steady target, works very cleanly and smoothly. Another example of nicer build quality: the cover of the other one snapped on and off by two annoying little tabs which did not hold the cover on well, the top was constantly popping off at even a slight bump. The Proxxon has a solid bolt-on top that stays on like it should yet is still easy to remove if desired to change the band. So this Proxxon is well worth the price but glad I learned my lesson not to carelessly move the table with the cheap one.

High Quality, Precision Tool
Excellent tool for my homebrewed printed circuit boards. A 5.5inch (140mm) drill to column distance enables drilling in large size materials.
