Default Is Anyone Familiar With Shop Fox/Woodstock International?

I'm not looking to buy, just curious if anyone knows anything about their

equipment.

I've had the ShopFox 12" bench-top drill press for a couple years and it's a
good little machine. Like any tool inexpensive enough for a non-professional
to buy for his own shop you need to tune it up a little when you put it
together, but it wasn't much trouble. And you only have to do that once.
Like they say about the Grizzly machine tools - "You can make good tools out
of them." And it's true, but I've had to work harder on Grizz tools than I
did on this little machine.

I measured the runout with a dial indicator and it was just fine - don't
remember exactly how many thou but it wasn't enough for me to do anything
about.
