I just received my drill press. The handle that raises the table is too short to reach anything and consequently, the table cannot be raised or lowered unless it is done manually without use of the handle. Did anyone have this problem?
When I called Jet they told me to take it to a repair shop. It is brand new why do I need it repaired?
Overall, I am happy with this machine. It is well-built, but there is a slight wobble in the chuck. This could, however, be how I installed it. I’m going to try redoing that.
It is larger and higher than I expected for a benchtop drill press. It is very heavy because it is a floor-model remade to a bench-model. It is too high to be on my regular 36″ bench. I had to have a lower,very sturdy table to set this on, which I hadn’t planned on.
Still, it does a good job. I wanted to drill into 3/4″ steel and it does this very well.

I looked around for quite a while for a quality drill press. I kept going back to an 2008 issue of Fine Woodworking magazine that rated this drill press top dog. I’m glad I did, because this drill press is a solid, durable machine. It’s compact and has plenty of power. Even after I bought this drill press, I kept looking around at other machines, to compare mine to the others. I can honestly say that I am happy with my purchase and would do it again.

The Jet drill is performing perfectly. Good fit for me and my shop. My Amazon experience coulda used some help. I ordered this is early February and it didn’t arrive until a few days ago. The item said in stock soon (this means nothing other than not in stock I came to learn). I called several Jet dealers and they had it in stock. I even sent the dealers numbers to Amazon to fulfill the order. In the end…they use one dealer who did not have it in stock.
I saved a good deal on this Machine, but, I would have cancelled it for better service. I still love the site….just gonna go to local dealers for this type of purchase.

I was looking for a benchtop drill press, and decided to get the jet. It is called a bench top drill press but i think that it is a full size drill press on a short pole. The table top is the biggest in its class. Changing speeds and setting the depth stop are excellent. Spend the extra money for a 3/4 hp instead of a 1/2 or 1/3 hp. Just another great jet product.
