  I have one of these and it's bigger brother with a bench mount (both 
roper whitney brand) . Very handy to have around. Makes nice, fast, and 
neat holes (especially in clad). A bit of a bother to change dies, so I 
tend to just use for common hole sizes.

   Don't try to muscle through too thick material, otherwise it's fine.
