I was not satisfied by my chinese drill press so some time ago I start looking for a better one... it takes some time to find it out a at an accettable price but in the end I found it:

It's a totally different animal. incredibly better.

Solid little bench drill there..nice. Yeah, I’d say it’s better than the trusty CHINESIUM drill presses we all know & love, LOL!
 
yes! and it's not so little... more or less it should be 150-200lbs! to put it on its table I had to ask a friend to help me. I would never be able to rise it so much on my own.
 
Good job on bringing it back to life. it seems most all older machines are worth repairing to keep them running.
where as a lot of the machines today cost as much to repair as it is to just buy a new one.
 
you are absolutely right. people today want shiny new stuff, the inherent quality has no meaning/value for most. new is better. and very few are able or care to evaluate the quality... most of the time I think exactly the opposite. old is better, stronger, made to last. especially for tools.
