Ordered, paid and delivered within a week. I unpacked, and assembled within 2 1/2 hours. The drill
is silent and meets its specification. Just a few tips. I used 4 1/2 inch bolts for the base. Before bolting the column to the base, clean, and try inserting into the headstock. You will note a column stop about 2 1/4 inches inside the headstock. When you are satisified that the column will easily move inside the headstock, place a piece of insulating tape about 2 1/4 inch from top of column. Now bolt the column to base. Next, the table support, mine was slightly rough between the clamping space. Used a fine file. table support then easily slides on the column. Now slide table support on column, then the headstock, the tape will indicate when headstock is fitted correctly.
I fitted a 4" vice to the table support, with one side bolted to the table, using 1 1/2 bolts. It works for me. Support lock handle, mine is fitted to the left hand side!!!!!!
I tapped the chuck using a mallet. The drilling return spring is OK. I did not change the drill depth stops.
Finally, beware, the overall height is 22", but the pulley safety cover requires a further 5 inches.
Easily a five star plus for the product, delivery and cost.

This tool is adequate for those tasks in which a hand drill does not give sufficient positional control and you wish that you had a drill press. Now for very little money you can keep one on the back bench.

I needed a small drill press, and I didn't want the limitations of Dremel, to use only their proprietary drill bits. I needed it quick. Grizzly and Amazon came through.
I peeked in the web site for this product, and it showed a whole PAGE of tools and bolts that might be needed to put it together! That might be a long night! Actually, it needed 3 bolts tightened, and took just a few minutes.
It works nicely, and I have drilled 150 holes exactly 0.031" diameter. No problems at all. The shipping was prompt and the packing and instructions were neat. Nice little machine. Very good quality and workmanship. / Happy owner. / rap
