No slop in my quill, because I periodically make adjustments if 
necessary. I like quality machinery, but budgets often prevail and a 
significantly more expensive machine than I actually need seems like a 
waste to me. The drill press is a 40 year old Delta radial arm. It's 
cheap, light weight, versatile, and a long way from rigid and suitable 
for use as a milling machine. But it has done what I need since I bought it.

I'm not a total cheap skate though. My 3/8 and 1/2" drills are 
Milwaukee, because that's what I needed.
