I think its a great buy for the money. And the Shop Fox brand sleeves are EXPENSIVE. Heavy-duty drill that was easy to put together. Easy assembly and went right to work. I can't express how much I love Hougen tools!

Hougen 0905109 Final Thoughts
"Assembly is easy."
I spent almost no time setting the Magnetic Drill Press up. That is the way it should be to prevent rust. That's why I gave it five stars. I am very happy with this Magnetic Drill Press. Can't complain for the price I paid.
