Review on BILT HARD 5-Speed Benchtop Work Light with Enhanced SEO by Brad Lovro

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Noisy and shaky, very light

(Sometimes images are reversed) Left to right:, Figs. 1 and 2; There was a lot of material (weld spatter?) in the clamp holding the table to the main post that had to be removed with a file and dremel or the table would be crooked. On the 3rd photo is the grandstand. There was a ridge all the way around the top where the table and headstock slide. Probably caused by a cut at the factory. He too had to be cut down. The photo below shows the back of the table near the collar. The process of leveling the surface of the table creates another curl of metal that should be polished smooth. This large ridge running down the back is sharp and you can see in the picture that it removed some material from my leather glove. secure. On power up and at lower speeds, the belt rubs against some of the wiring along the bottom. In the last picture, the point where the chuck and spindle are pressed against each other. Lots of noise and vibration come from there. That rubber pad should make it easier, but it's very flimsy and flimsy. It does little to reduce knocking. In general I am very dissatisfied. A week before I bought a Cargo 8" 5-Speed Harbor Bench Drill and wasn't very happy with it, I paid $50 and got it. It, too, shook and groaned. The Port's cargo motor was noticeably heavier and larger. larger than the Built Hard engine I paid over 100 for Built Hard and it's worse than a Harbor Freight drill I'm about to send it back.
