If someone really wants a semi-cheap drill press or even drill/mill for a
project, we normally send them to Jet, Grainger or Delta... Only because I
have more confidence that the parts for those machines will be the same a
year from now when they break their drill press. It's not guaranteed, but
it is better than Harbor Freight or some of the other cheap models out
there.

Leigh, who posts here, had a customer with a busted head on a Jet
drill press. He ordered a new head casting, from Jet (he is a Jet
dealer/service station) using the part number, name, etc etc...

While it looked identical from the outside..nothing matched.
