I purchase several things on Amazon and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description, I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Sellers have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

It’s a good budget tool. I read the reviews and agree with them. They have it painted in areas that should be polished. Areas that should be a smooth polished surface are a little rough. Without adding anything to it, just cleaning it up, polishing contacting surfaces, and hitting the threads with a wire wheel on a dremel. It’s a decent tool. I do suggest oiling it and taking time to clean it up some. You could use it right out the gate if you wanted to but the fit and finish will be sufficient better with some elbow grease. I added two pictures just to show some areas I noticed had paint that I thought it shouldn’t be. The paint was causing some areas to kind of bind up a little bit. All in all I’m pretty happy with it

Needed complete disassembly, cleaning and some filing which is what I expected. it's a lot of tool for the price. The travel is mostly smooth.

If you want a simple work table to use, especially for your drill press, this is a great table to consider and purchase. I found it to be accurate enough for what I am going to do with it. Is this something to use a professional machine shop and for cranking out a ton of parts? No -- but that should be apparent by the price point.The table requires some prep work once it arrives. This is what I did:1) Unwrapped and sprayed it down with brake cleaner to get all the nasty oil/grease off2) Disassembled the entire unit and sprayed it down again3) Took a wire brush to all the channels and guide areas to remove excess paint4) Sanded down the top deck to make sure it was truly flat5) Filed down all the spacers in the channel guides to remove any burrs6) Took a dremel with a sanding drum and knocked down all the edges7) Reassembled and greased the guides

I have never submitted a review before but this experience has been unique. I am a machine shop owner, engineer, and kind of handy with tools. (Not blowing my horn here, I goof up just like everyone else).I bought this as I needed a little x-y table for my basement workshop. It seemed robust from the description- I took note of another reviewer describing rough edges but that didn’t phase me as these inexpensive Chinese tools are often rather rough in nature.The good- the little table is solid, rather heavy, but well designed and as far as I can tell machined accurately. The parts fit together well (more below) and operates smoothly. About a 3”x3” travel.The bad- if you have ever bought Chinese small machine items, you would be aware they are made from the lowest grade cast iron available. I also have a Chinese lathe and small mill- same cast iron. It is very soft compared to tooling made in the US. But for home use, suitable. I let this pass. The edges on every part were sharp and rough- I expected this from another review and knew I would take it apart to clean it up. I let this pass too.The ugly- the table I got was put together all wrong. It was as if the person doing assembling was given a box of parts with no instructions. The Gibbs were dead loose- both ways rocked a lot. (Just an adjustment issue). The two tables moved in the wrong direction when turning the hand wheel because the assembly had the leadscrews reversed. Also one of the bearings was not installed properly and had to be replaced. I replaced all four bearings and problem solved.At the end, after spending some time, this is a really nice little table which is solid and operates smoothly. After cleanup and lubrication, all is good. I probably should have sent this back but knew the next one would need some work as well to clean it up. At the very least, would need to take apart and clean all the rough edges. I took this as a challenge to finish what should have been done at the factory. One final note- the x-y table is at 90 deg. That is a big deal as I have seen other Chinese products where the axis is not perpendicular. This one is.At the end, all ok. It’s a good table but be forewarned that it might take a little effort to clean up before use.

The media could not be loaded. One axis has almost 1/8” of play. This is from where the threaded lug goes into the casting- the hole is too large. Thinking about shimming or tack weld. I ran a file along all gliding surfaces and oiled everything up, which helped movement.

I read the reviews on this and kinda excited the worst, I could see it was completely fixable. Got mine took it all apart and really nothing was wrong I polished it up a bit put a shim on 1 of the bearings and adjusted everything as tightly as possible set it up. Works really well only tried couple small things. I do wish it was a little bigger.
