Good Drill Press

I really like this drill. It looks good and is well built. Engine runs well, good size and power. The drill chuck works fine, but the teeth that connect to the drill chuck key don't fit very well. I am planning to buy a Jacobs keyless chuck. The only thing that really bothered me was that the spindle splines had too much play with the drive splines and made a rattling noise at certain RPMs. I bought a tube of Vavoline Cobalt Heavy Duty #2 Grease. I removed the rubber plug on top of the drive…

Pros
  • INCREASED VISIBILITY: LED work lights illuminate the work area for complex jobs.
Cons
  • Very expensive

Precision drilling machine, digital display does not work

Benefits: For a layperson, a great addition to the workshop. I had a 50 year old unnamed who served me until the camp got stuck. The jet device is like day and night. It is solidly made and heavy. Having variable speed is a luxury I've never had. My old block had 3 different pulley sizes but changing them was so difficult I rarely did. The handle to raise and lower the table works well. I put a 20 pound vise on the table and smeared the post with grease. The mechanical speed controller works…

Pros
  • STABLE DRILLING: Clear linear scale with depth stop.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Jet JWDP-12 and WEN 4214 are not the same

I only gave 3 stars because I've only had it one day so I don't think it's long enough to honestly review. I first bought a WEN 4214 and the one I received was defective. I have a maple and hard walnut project with a 1-1/4" Forstner bit. On first use with WEN the engine overheated and started smoking necessitating the use of my fire extinguisher. I went to my local shop and bought a Jet JWDP-12.Although both are side by side in my shop I will find some similarities and differences.Many small…

Pros
  • EASY TO USE: Large ergonomic handles provide maximum control.
Cons
  • Long delivery
