Picked up the Delta MM300 for a hunnert bucks as part of Lowe's Delta
clearance. Never had one of these before. The bits "sing" pretty loudly
as
they spin in their chisels. Not so loud or not a screech that would
signal
a binding or a problem. But a louder "scraping" sound than I'd have
expected.


Mine is louder than a drill press, but nothing like a router.

Before you get into this very far, sharpen the chisels and bits. Hone the
outside of the chisels, buy conical shaped tool for the inside from Lee
Valley. Use a small file for the bits.

Out of the box, mine were a PITA, but after a few minutes with a stone and
file, they work OK now.
