  • You won’t regret this but!
Style: Benchtop drill plates
This is my first drill press. From lots of choices, I decided on this Jet. Now I’m not one to love high end equipment and decided to go with this because of the easy change of RPMS and digital read out. Just seems like a hassle to have to change the belt to adjust RPM as many bits and materials all vary. This Jet performs with accuracy, is stable and has many advantages. You might think it’s expensive but compared to the cheaper presses this one was worth the money to upgrade to something that was more durable and dependable! ... show more

  • Well built
Style: Benchtop drill plates
This replaces a cast steel Craftsman drill press that has been in service many years . Not as heavy duty as that one but a very good replacement . Also a very nice look for updated drill press . Wasn’t sure about ordering without seeing in person but very happy with purchase . Good instructions & very easy to assemble parts . Would buy again ... show more

  • Solid benchtop for the price
Style: Benchtop drill plates
I do very little bench press drilling and when I do, it is for woodworking. I looked at a number of manufacturers and despite never owning a jet anything, I decided to give this unit a try. It’s solid. The laser guide is surprisingly useful. Despite being at the low end with respect to horsepower, it can handle most woodworking tasks and is still light enough for me to move off the bench when I need the room. The only time it has bogged down on me at all was when using a very large hole saw that exceeded what this is intended for. It still got the job done, just had to go a little slow. Anything else has been no problem. If I had to nitpick, I find the crank to raise and lower the platform a little on the sloppy side, but not a big deal and very secure once tightened again. Over all, I’m pretty happy with it. It cost a bit more than I had wanted to spend, but is far sturdier than anything I looked at retail. Maintenance has been pretty easy too. The belt is easy to access and adjustments are quick. I’d buy it again. ... show more

  • Good Drill Press
Style: Benchtop drill plates
I really like this Drill Press. It looks good and is well built. The motor runs good, it is a nice size and power. The drill chuck runs true but the teeth that connect with the chuck key is not a very good fit. I plan on getting a Keyless Jacobs Chuck. The only thing that really bothered me was the Spindle Spline has too much clearance with the Drive Spline and makes a rattling noise at certain RPM's. I bought a tube of Vavoline Cobalt Heavy Duty #2 Grease. I removed the rubber plug on top of the Drive Sleeve and forced grease between the Spindle Spline and the Drive Spline while moving the spindle up and down. This quieted most of the noise and made it feel smoother. Quality control would have eliminated this problem. I also put a light coating of grease on the vari-drive sleeves, outside surface of the quill and teeth. I also loosened up the Spindle Return Spring to my liking. I had bought a (Dewalt Planer Stand DW7350) and mounted the JET Drill press to that. I thought I could save some money and bought a cheap 12" Built Hard Drill Press. The motor ran very hot and was tripping my GFI and the spindle runout could beat an egg. This was total JUNK. It was returned the next day. Overall I am happy with my JET 12" Drill Press Purchase and recommend it to anyone. ... show more

  • Good quality
Style: Benchtop drill plates
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He says it is easy to use and the quality is good. It sits higher than expected on his work bench, but he is making it work.

  • Very well thought out!
Style: Benchtop drill plates
The Jet Benchtop Drill Press is excellent! With its laser aiming device and light, you’re able to see exactly where you need to drill. It has plenty of power to do the most audacious drilling into whatever material you have. Very impressive!

  • 85 pound paper weight.
Style: Benchtop drill plates
I bought this drill press on a sale, it sat in the box in the garage for a few months before I had a chance to assemble it. When I did start to use it, I was having lots of problems with chatter while drilling steel parts. Any speed, any amount of downforce, or cutting oil didn’t matter, still really bad chatter. I contacted the manufacturer customer service and they informed me that the drill press wasn’t rated for use with metal… Also because I waited to set it up and use it, I was no longer able to return it. Nowhere in the description does it say that it’s not to be used for metal, it doesn’t refer to the drill press as a “woodworking” drill press. I don’t do woodworking, so Im stuck with a very expensive tool that I have absolutely no use for. I was very excited to buy my first JET tool, it ended up being the biggest mistake I’ve ever made as far as tool purchases go. ... show more
