Customer Review: Great tool for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Well this is the first drill press I have owned, and I would have liked to have gotten a grizzly with it's 12 speeds. 5 speeds are ok, but 500rpm is sometimes a little fast for my big metal drills and bi-metal hole saws. As far as packaging, it was a little rough. I bought mine refurbed and could not pass up the price of $140 bucks shipped. (much cheaper than the grizzly) My switch housing was broken, but was not falling out and still worked, who cares no biggie for me. No runout issues (checked it with my dial guage) with the chuck. Swapping the belt to a different speed is stupid easy and fast. It takes me less than 30 seconds. The tray is neat, but for me gets in the way so I just took it off. Take the time to adjust the lazer properly. It can be completely accurate from the top to the bottom if you take 5-10 minutes to get it right. I found that when I tightened the caps covering the lazers, they moved slightly, so I went back and fourth between the two screws to keep the lazer centered on the provided alignment dowel.
I do allot of metal work and use it with my tubing notcher. I found my notcher would fit with the base all the way down and my setup will bolt to the hole in the middle of the table. Getting it all lined up so it did not bind throughout the movement took a while. Drilling holes is allot easier and more accurate and has fufilled all of my expectations. Has plenty of power for what I do and has not flinched at anything yet.
I gave it 5 stars for what it offers in it's class of drill presses and it's purpose. It is not a floor standing model and it dosent have 18 speeds so dont expect it to perform like a $500 drill press. But for the $140 I paid for it self, small size, ease of use, and low maintenance you cant beat it. I would even pay the going rate for a new one on here.
Oh and I also got a 6" delta drill press vice for it and no it does not bolt on, but I drilled and tapped the base for it so I can easily adjust it and move it around to fit what ever piece of work I trying to drill. Get a vice, it makes using the drill much safer and easier. If you dont want to drill, maybe the 4" will be just your size and will probably bolt on with no modifications.
