I was on the fence about getting one of these for a while, but just drilling the test hole has me completely sold. Need to do some fine adjustments to get it completely level, but I'm really happy. Only problem is that it's very tall and so is my table. I'm 6'3" and I build my tables to be comfortable for my height. The center of the chuck is at about eye level, so if this thing fails and flies apart, I'll never even know...
