No good for precision work
This is a budget end of the market drill, and it shows. It comes disassembled for the owner to put together, starting with bolting the column to the base. But the base is not cast iron, it's pressed steel, and the ring where the base flange bolts on isn't flat, and it isn't level. So in my case the column tilted forward by about 10mm at the top. The only way out of this was to hand file the base ring to get it flat and level, trying it several times to gauge progress. That was the first item.
Then the main drill head sits atop the column. The drill axis wasn't parallel with the column. Why not? The top of the column wasn't square so the head tilted forward. Hand file the top until it was true' lifting the heavy head on and off several times to check progress.
Next, the table wasn't flat. The edges were higher than the centre and had to be filed off. This was easy as the table is a flimsy light alloy casting and not cast iron.
Also it did not sit squarely on the column. You can tilt the table left and right but you can't tilt it fore and aft and the front was high. I tracked this down to the main body that goes up and down when you turn the handle; the front face of that wasn't machined square, and I had to keep filing little bits off the bottom and sides until it sat square.
In summary there is no precision about this drill; if you want to do accurate or quality work then get something else. I bought it to replace a smaller drill I bought years ago that is not big enough for some of the items I want to work on. But I will be keeping the smaller drill and only using this new one when I need the extra capacity, and the slower speeds.
Possibly I should have sent it back as unsuitable but once I'd started to correct the faults it was too late and of course to start with I could only detect one fault, the base not being flat.

M4 tap
Only had occasion to use this twice since it arrived but it's faultless. I'm a great convert to this type of tap.

My go-to chuck
I set the chuck up on a new backplate turned to be a good fit in the register. Got that right to start with. Then, chucking my first piece of 20mm round bar just to check the concentricity, I was really impressed to see that the run-out was no more than one thou (inch).
Even more impressive, taking the piece of bar out and rechucking still kept the run-out under a thou.
OK it's early days but if it can maintain that consistency I'll be delighted.
The internet is full of tales about Chinese chucks being delivered with swarf inside; this one wasn't, inside it was clean as a whistle.
