are you going to make us beg to find out which model you have
(and where you bought it)?
Please don't be so cruel. :-)

My "NEW" Drill Press has a low end of 140 rpm and a 5" stroke, paid $275.00 for it. If it lats as long as my first Drill Press, over 25 years, it will be a bargain, somewheres around $12.00 a year or $1.00 per month. Or i could of sold my old unit for around $100.00 making my new unit costs at just around less than $200.00. My question is this , why buy a cheap drill press when your buying it for the long run. Lets just say that you bought the cheap one, resale value $000.00, it is going to reflect in your workmanship, cheap in crap out, and you are going to lose your customers because of your workmanship. With a stroke of less than 3" means that to ream out a 975 your going to have to move the drill table twice just to be able to get 100% claen up.
My advice is to scrap the idea of the cheap one and go with the better machine.

RK can double check this, but this appears to be a good
candidate for occassional clubmaking machine work:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=44836
12 speeds (250, 340, 510, ... 3600 rpm)
1/2 hp; 3.5 amp
2 3/3" spindle stroke; 10" swing
US$99.99 plus shipping and handling $8.99
I found some other bench tops that were as low as 140 rpm, but were
roughly $180 + $55 shipping.
