I received the cross slide table today,I was not sure what to expect for the price I paid. I was first struck by how well it was packaged and secondly was the weight of this device.I will be mounting this onto my large drill press so the accuracy of the dials will be adequate for my needs and the backlash hat was present when I opened it was fairly easily adjusted to an acceptable level. For the money this X Y table is well worth the money and I will be buying another for my smaller drill press.
