Powerful and Easy to Use

As a result of my tests, I determined that this industrial power tool is a beast! The variable speed is smooth and easy to use, and the powerful motor made light work of tough materials. The chuck is easy to adjust and held bits securely. The downside is that it's a bit heavy, but that's to be expected from a tool of this size and power. Overall, a great investment for any serious DIY enthusiast or professional.

Pros
  • Flexible Speed Dial for Adjusting RPMs
Cons
  • Limited to 12 Inch Diameter Workpieces

Machine at a great price

I am writing this review after only owning a drill press for a few days but actively using it. So understand that this is not a review of the machine's strength or durability. If anything changes in the future I will come back and update this review as I usually do.

For $225 and free shipping, I had very moderate expectations for performance, fit, and finish out of the box.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
