Variable speed makes this drill press better

Reviewed by: bh75reds

Review Summary

I have to admit, I bought this to be a stop-gap drill press, something to hold me over and get me through a few years until I can upgrade to a floor-stand bigger machine. But then I discovered this is a better drill press than I expected. I really like the variable speed and digital indicator, making it easy to change speeds without changing belts. And it's got enough power for my shop. The depth stop is not as good as I'd like, but it works okay.

…

And the table is old school, like the ones used for decades. I'd rather have a table better suited for woodworking, where I could clamp around the edges to hold boards in place.
