I'm happy with this drill press after 6 or so years of use. Yes, the tapered chuck can fall out, but rarely. The main switch is of poor quality. It welded together several times (arcs). I then had to disassemble it, separate the fused surfaces and sand them clean. The good news is, the replacement parts cost around $5. For the price, this is an excellent drill press.

Works well except there is a tendency for the tapered chuck to fall out when vibrating.
