Lot of truth in that. I have an old four speed Chinese benchtop drill
press I got probably 20 years ago. I added an intermediate step pulley
to give me a bunch of lower speeds for large metal drill bits. I have
drilled up to 1" in carbon steel with it and still haven't broken it or
worn it out. But like someone else said, when I need precision I use
the milling machine.
