I picked up the HF 10" 12 SPEED bench press. A couple months ago.
Dont do it.
First, the chuck is near impossible to seat correctly. The resulting runnout is visible. I now use my lathe to drill pen blanks (also HF, but spot on with Nova chuck).
Although the table has angle indicators, theres no good way to put it on an angle. Theres as seriously torqued bolt, that's it.
I only paid $100, so shouldn't cry too much.
