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.
