Great with some modification
Works good, built an entire roll cage. It will need to be modified to fit drill presses but that seems to be normal no matter what brand you get. I used it for 1-3/4" round tubing and 1-1/2 square tubing. I'm happy with the product even with having to modify it!

Price versus rigidity……
Unit is made to bolt to drill press or milling machine table by an “L” bracket. As the first rule of machining is RIGIDITY, this was never going to work well. Removed foot, and made heavy wall 6” square tube spacer to fit tightly between stock backing plate which carries stock saw guide pillow block, and work holding clamp, and the upright tube of my drill press. One end of spacer welded with continuous bead to backing plate, other end notched with radius of drill press upright tube. Welded a pair of studs to the outside of my 6” spacer at drill press upright tube end and made heavy clamp plate that holds fitted spacer hard up against drill press upright tube. Now stock backing plate itself is heavily reinforced, and now the reinforced tool is mounted directly to the same part of drill press as drill press head. Also reinforced the clamping mechanism heavily as it was rather thin steel, and lightly welded with no gusseting. Overall I got what I paid for knowing I would totally redesign it ahead of time, yet still hope to come out ahead of fabricating from ground up.

I have cut about 20 notches on 1 1/4" pipe ...
I have cut about 20 notches on 1 1/4" pipe and it has performed well, but I wish it were made out of heavier metal.

You get what you pay for
As others have said, it's the equivalent of the Harbor Freight model. You pay for the convenience of not having to go pick it up. Taxes are probably a wash with the Prime upcharge to cover shipping.It requires tweeking for accurate notches. The spindle center is not aligned with the clamp. You will either need to shim the clamp (about 0.08") or skim cut the spindle mount. There is a Youtube on how to shim.
