Pros & Cons
Pros
Decent cast iron. Rubbing against rear 3/4 hole. Mated to a central machinery 34 radial floor drill press. For hobbyist use for occasional professional milling operations, this table isn't bad.
No visible cracks or obvious flaws from what i can see. Decent hardware for the price ratio. Fantastic results. Needed deburing everywhere, but fantastic results.
The handle on the knobs make it easy to turn quickly. Precise & effortless movement. The difference is enormous as you can clamp each end properly tight. Accurate enough for my proposes.

The screws that you turn to move the table are a tad too short on the lower one

I will take the lower handle boss off and trim it down about 116 to get the length the boltscrewto protrude enough to be on the nylock nut

Why i noticed this is because i could not get the lower handle on the table
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I had to take it apart and drive the boss thread guide out of the holder as it was jammed on there so hard it would not come off
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So as it was straight out of the box there would be no movement of the lower movement with the nut tightened

You need a double nut on this type of set up and there is not enough thread showing for that
