It's a big drill and quite heavy. Sadly the assembly and quality control in China is a bit sloppy. Making the drill work as intended required some disassembly, extra grease, and adjustment. Nothing worked subtly or smoothly out of the box. The instructions consisted mostly of some tiny illustrations with a bare-bones explanation in English at the end of the booklet. It was pretty much useless as you expect from things produced in China. It took me quite a bit of tinkering and adjusting before things worked as they should. Specifically, the gears for the table height adjustment handle were very sloppy requiring an extra internal spacer, and rotating the table horizontally required the collar at the top of the column to be removed and repositioned before it could be rotated without binding. Other than that it seems to be a decent machine

It is a good column drilling machine. The quality is good and when you look at other brands and prices, this one is a good option. I am happy with it.
