This is a great option for people who need a drill press but (like me) don't have the space or money for a proper one. Of course it has its limitations, but what it has works great. The main caveat is that the base is too small, too light and not cast iron (I think the translation got a bit mixed up and they have "Guss" for "cast" and "iron" for "steel" used without realizing that "cast iron" is a special alloy in English - not being a native speaker, I've made similar mistakes myself while learning the language). for them, and for that price you get something very useful at a very good price.
