You know I've gone though like a box of tissues just drooling over this? I just bought the same drill press, is yours a little noisy on top where you can adjust the belts? mine was, i got some u-channel edge molding and put it around the top edge, if its noisy i suggest you do the same

PS I'm going to buy a router and a table, I've seen too many good builds with these tools, it just becomes too much pressure eventually!
