Wasn't looking at buying one, just said it was interesting. If I wanted a mill that's what I would have been looking at, but as noted in my first post I'm looking for a drill press and just stumbled across this one while doing some research. The bearing upgrade would be nice as it would allow you to use it for drum sanding, and the extremely wide speed range would be great, but I wouldn't get one simply because who knows if you will be able to get replacement electronic bits for it in 10-15-20 years. Belts, bearings and motors are pretty generic and easily sourced when needed so I'll be sticking with the old school tech.
