Great value for the price
I bought this during Amazon's Spring Sale for $150. It's a good value for the money, it's a good, strong drill press. I like the sturdiness and variable speeds. It was easy to assemble, only taking about 15 minutes. Size is great as well, not too small but also doesn't take up a bunch of wasted space in my garage shop. Drills accurate and the motor provides plenty of power.The only small con I will say is that the support plate does wiggle a little on rack, but once a workpiece is held on there, that isn't much of an issue.

Love it
Wish I had bought sooner. I don’t have the space or the money for a big ol’ Powermatic, this will have to do for now.Set up was easy. The table wanders all over during adjustment, so the laser is handy for lining that back up if for nothing else. Laser was way off when I got it, but nudging the little doohickey with my thumb brought it back. I get a touch of travel out of the chuck, it wobbles slightly left. Also, when I power down something in the motor sounds a playing card in your bike spokes. Those things would tick me off in 1600 dollar machine, for this price you have to expect a little funkiness I figure. If it blows up I’ll come back and update.Incidentally, the way I dial in the laser is to mount a bradpoint or forstner, poke a little hole in some clamped scrap wood and mess with the laser until it lines up. I have to do this every couple of weeks or so, it doesn’t wander too far.UPDATE a year later: The press still works great; the only thing I have noticed is that in addition to a slight wobble left, when I bring the press all the way down, the bit ticks off to the left about a 1/16 of an inch. This would be horrible for accuracy, but at that point the bit is usually buried in the piece and the hole keeps it in line.Also, I added the Rockler drill press table, which is meant for full size drill presses and doesn’t really work with this one, but I got it to fit with some diy adjustments. The down side is that the table blocks the use of the adjustment crank, so I have to use a wrench to adjust the table up or down. Also I can’t use the vacuum port. Other than that it’s a nice addition for repeat cuts.

nice and budget friendly
i would not call this top quality, it doesn't feel like the components are that beefy.. but it does the job and seems to drill through steel on the slowest setting with no problem... a bit of vibration until you make contact , then it drills true and does a decent job . good enough for a tinkerer like me... light and laser were spot on for me and assembly went smoothly. it's also fairly quiet and smooth.... again aside from a slight wobble when free spinning .

High quality and lots of features at a good price
This is a well built, versatile bench-top drill press with a host of good features. I bought it for the size, motor HP, 1/2" chuck, and laser alignment. It has five motor speeds which are selected by moving the drive belt to different pulleys. The laser alignment works perfectly. The table tilts up to 45 degrees, though you need a wrench to make adjustments. The table also swivels around the main post.When mine arrived, the plastic collar holding the drill depth stop was broken. I registered with Skil online (that gets you a three-year warranty) and called them to ask for the part. They sent it out right away, free of charge, and it arrived in less than a week.

Not as bad as is claimed
So after reading some reviews, I was hesitant after having already purchased this press.. however I believe alot of the negative reviews are user error, guys beating the crap out of their tools, or not reading the setup instructions which clearly state you have to do some adjustments when it arrives. Now to also state this is not something I would put in a multiple employee fab shop, but for home use where you yourself will (hopefully) take care of your investment, I think it has done a fine job so far, I have already bored 30 holes in steel plate for a trailer fab job, no motor wobble, no collar break, no issues with my table, and holes turned out perfect, I'm very pleased with this machine and especially for the price.

Would not recommend.
Lots of vibration with the machine, even when the speed is set to its lowest setting. I regret this buy, and i plan to return the item, unfortunately. Also has just a very faint burning smell coming from the motor at times. Pulleys appear to be cheap plastic and are poorly formed , having come with jagged edges on some locations that will undoubtedly result in wear on the belt. I have other Skil products and have had good luck with their other tools in the last. However, Skil needs to up their game with this one….a swing and a miss. What a shame. very poor quality.
