3 out of 5 stars Drill   April 13, 2009
David Reifman (Orange County California)
Unit has enough power for most jobs. Easy to assemble. Parts are made from sturdy steel. Not for commercial use. Perfect for home work shop.


2 out of 5 stars It's okay.....just okay   March 15, 2009

I purchased this for our business (light and occasional use in wood). It would not come on after assembly, then I noticed the motor housing was crushed on the bottom pinning the fan. I took off the cover and the cheap plastic fan was in pieces. Called and they would not send me replacement parts but said I had to return the entire unit. Not worth the trouble so I have used it without the fan. The lasers are too bright and makes it harder to see what you are drilling. The table will not stay tight and swings to the sides easily making aligment for precision work difficult. This is a $99 drill press and worth $99.....but no more.

I bought this a few months ago. Unfortunately, the chuck has become loose. Which means that now even under the slightest of loads, I cannot get any drilling done. Replacement is about $40. This would made the whole press's worth less than $60.

I'm very well satisfied with this bench top drill press. It went together easily and is well built for a drill press this size. If you're looking for a bench top drill press for ocassional use then you should consider the 10" Hitachi B 13F1 10.

Purchasing this item through Amazon.com gave me a great deal and the transaction couldn't have been any better.
