Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A really heavy duty tool with the following notable characteristics: Exhibits noisy sheet metal at some speeds and vibration at highest speeds. Quill travel is only 4+ inches. At low speeds this press generates very high torque and will damage tools if the operator is not careful. (I installed a 1/2" chuck and did not drive the adapter in tightly. This press twisted the adapter out and ruined the chuck for precision work.) Depth gauge is slow to use. Tool does not have a quill lock. Like all drills of this type there is a big gap in speeds and getting over the gap requires switching belts. The table is very big and heavy. If you put a big cross vise on it, raising the table is very laborious. I rigged up a counter weight, and it makes life much easier. Runout with supplied 3/4" chuck is well under 0.002", which is excellent.
All in all, I think this press is bigger and stronger than I need. I'm thinking of selling it and getting the Delta variable speed with 6" quill travel and quill lock. The Delta costs less and, unless someone needs to drill or saw large holes in steel, I don't think they need this much drill press.
Also, all parts of the tool are VERY heavy. Unless you are a professional weight lifter, get a strong friend to help with assembly. Tool was packed very well and was delivered in perfect condition. Tech support is excellent.
