12 INCH 6.2A Professional Bench Drill Press, 3/4HP Powerful Benchtop Drill Press, Variable Speed Drill Press with IIIA Laser and Work Light

This drill press offers plenty of value and features for the price. Shipping was fast, and the unit was well packaged with plenty of foam and a double corrugated box. Setup was quick and easy. It is a tall unit (which means plenty of vertical work space), so be sure to bolt it down. Motor seems plenty powerful. As another reviewer mentioned, the flat table is better suited for clamping materials or bolting a vise compared to similar products. Once the work piece is setup and aligned with the chuck, the table locks firmly into place. The speed adjustment lever works well and is very user friendly. This is a significant improvement over the old method on drill presses from the past where the user needed to manually move the belts on the pulleys to change the drive ratio / speed. The switches, safety stop and speed indicator seem higher quality than competitors in it's class. One thing to consider, though the depth adjustment knob featured on this model is a faster, accurate, and better solution than the threaded rod and nut limiter found on most drill presses, it does not allow for locking the quill in a down position. Overall, for the price, I highly recommend it.

This Press screams quality and features. After using a Ryobi Drill press for over 20 years it finally gave up the ghost last sunday. I was already thinking about upgrading the chuck and changed the belt twice. One of the spindles cracked. It served me well but realized I deserved something better. I went on Youtube looked at the comparison videos and out of all the drill presses I chose Buck Tools. I have one of their combo belt disc sanders wish is rock solid so I was familiar with the brand. The deciding factor beside the build quality it gives you almost 2" more length at the lowest table position. Also the table does not have the underneath boarder around the edge that makes clamping awkward. The lazer is dead accurate. I have used and still do all the big box brands Ridgid, Dewalt ,Makita , Milwauke, and Harbor Freight . Trust me when I tell you the build on this beast is no joke. I never leave reviews but if your looking for a great drill press at an unbelievable price , you can't go wrong. It is very heavy in the box almsot 100lbs, but assembly was a breeze. Super fast shipping I ordered it on sunday and it arrived on tuesday. It said delivery between June 29 and July 1. I started lifting weights and doing pushups to get ready and when I saw it my job, I was like oh man how am I gonna do this? I got some straps from home depot pushed it to the end of the loading dock lifted it up put it in the back seat . Got it home put it on hand truck got in the side door got in front of it walked it down the stairs. Once unpacked it is managable. It advises 2 people to lift it on the pedestal for safety, however I was able to do it my self. Fantastic piece I can't wait to put it through its paces. Almost forgot digital read out and speed is adjustable via a lever. no more loosening and re tension the motor to change the belt. My Ryobi died as it wanted me to get something better (lol)

Good DIY press. I own a lot of high end woodworking equipment , but needed something benchtop just to drill some holes in metal once in a while in my knife shop and this was a perfect fit for that. Instructions or terrible but commonsense will have you putting it together quickly. All and all it is a sound machine and appears well built and functions as it should. The speed adjustment requires a little more work than some other higher end machines but that is to be expected for a piece of equipment in this price point. Worth the money and i would recommend it for somebody looking for a budget press for light to medium duty tasks.

This drill press arrived well protected in the box. No damage to any components. Straight forward assembly. All parts went together very well. Being a tool and die maker I used a dial indicator installed in the chuck with a Moore “frog leg” to tram the perpendicularity between the spindle and table. Over a radius of approximately 4 inches I trammed a 360 degree rotation. It was within 0.002” total right out of the box. Very impressive for a drill press. Quite happy with the overall fit and finish. I got the “6 pole” motor. Ran it from approximately 380 to 2000 rpm. Very smooth and relatively quiet unit. I’d recommend this product.

works, great, excellent price well worth the cost

First and foremost, it is not one of those $Brazillion$ Machine Shop thingys that you have to take a two year course to learn how to use it ! You’ll do just fine with a little common sense and patience. I’ve had this one for couple of months and I’m quite pleased with it. Check out its features…laser bit alignment, work light, speed control, depth control, deck level hand crank, low noise, and a well made item. It is also very well priced. I believe you will be very pleased with it.

I looked at a number of comparisons between this drill press and the similarly specification Wen model. I am so glad I went with this model. The machining on all the cast pieces is clean and even with no rough unfinished edges. I like the flat, thin edge of the table for easy work clamping. The lever operated speed changes with digital rpm readout is a welcome upgrade from my old press that required manual belt manipulation to alter speed. Theoretically you could change it, but it took so long change that for years I just drilled every hole at a medium speed. The chuck has a good solid feel and seems more than adequate for an included part. Considering a “professional” chuck would be roughly the price of this entire drill press I’ll stick with the stock model. I’m saving my most incredible pleasant surprise for last. I would have been happy with a couple thousandths of runout at this price point but when I put a dial indicator on the mounted chuck and rotated it throughout a full 360 degree rotation the needle didn’t even move. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Highly recommended!
