It's entirely possible that the drill press has quality shortcomings, I cannot diagnose that from across the internet. However-I had one of those a few years ago. It works fairly well, but I eventually got tired of triangular holes. The chuck is simply pressed on to a tapered shaft, no center screw. I tried over and over to get the chuck to mount true and square, and I did get it pretty darned close.
Don't get me wrong, for the price it still is a decent drill press.
Two problems:Drills will "corkscrew" in thin material. Use an end mill for protos...stamping dies for production runs in thin material. ...
