Great for small jobs, , assembly directions were kind of vague, someone with any mechanical knowledge would find it confusing , also lazer shield makes bit change difficult. Otherwise its a good machine for the price.

Some issues with assembly instructions. I figured it out from the pictures. For the money, it did a fine job of consistently drilling holes. Guard interferes with the motion of the bit, but I probably need longer bits. As a DIY’er this is all the drill press I’ll ever need.

I was surprised to see a drill press at this price. I mounted it on my work bench and it works as I had hoped.

Arrived promptly and in good condition. Mostly good assembly instruction book, although how to adjust the laser beams wasn’t that clear…had to use some trial and error.Smooth and quiet running. Seems to have good motor performance for such a small drill press.Some of the plastic parts, including the depth stop plate and the knobs on the operating handles are kind of soft, detracting from the feel of quality. It will be interesting to see how these pieces hold up. The safety guard around the chuck had to be removed to allow use of a rotary planing head, the main tool that I need to use with this press.I like the safety plunger in the chuck key, making it practically impossible to start the unit with the key in place. Smart!

You get what you pay for. The 8″ press only has 2″ of chuck travel. Barely enough to get through a 2x. No instructions for attaching the depth gauge or the shield. Other than that the setup was easy. It is significantly under-powered. I tried to drill a 1.25″ counter-sink hole into a fir 2×6 with a forstner bit. The bit barely caught in the wood before the press stalled out.

purchased when it was on sale for $69 w/free ship. I’m satisfied with it, but wouldn’t pay much more for it. One of the lasers doesn’t work well, maybe it just mine. The front cover easily slips out of place. Also, the drill pulls to the right when the max drilling depth, 2 inches, is reached. On the other hand, I was drilling 7075 aluminum and it worked great. There was vibration, but I clamped it to my work bench and it didn’t affect my work. It’s easy to assemble and operate. It’s definitely a budget drill, but the parts and components that matter are strong and sturdy. If I get 5 years out of it, I’ll be completely satisfied.

Works great. Love the laser cross hairs. Add a drill press vise and you’re ready to rock-n-roll. Finally I can get straight holes in pvc tubing.
