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

    • Good drill press
Style: Benchtop drill plates
I am a custom knife maker (@t_roseknives) and I am happy with the jet drill press. I use it for drilling all my knives for handle pins. I like how you can easily adjust the speed with a lever on the side with ease. The light and laser dot for drilling holes with accuracy is a huge benefit. The only thing I was disappointed with was i assumed it was made in USA and it’s not. China. But overall it works well and I would recommend. ... show more

    • Well made
Style: Benchtop drill plates
Generally, the JWDP-12 drill press seems to be very well made and can be set up to do accurate work. Like any other tool, some time spent ensuring that everything is set square is worthwhile. In this case, I found that the initial set up was very straight-forward. I like the table post holder as it allows me to use a cross-slide vise from another manufacturer, one that also offers a mount for the vise that fist the same post configuration. I found the laser cross-hair to be very close, the chuck set in place accurately, and any run-out is nearly imperceptible. The only negative for me, and it is a minor one, is that the table is not adjustable to 90 degrees. I do have a work-around for that, but it would be nice if the table could be set to a vertical position. ... show more

    • Great drill press
Style: Benchtop drill plates
Jet has been around for a long time and makes some great products. This is the reason I went with this drill press. Showed up a day early, box was completely intact. Packaged nicely. No defects and it works perfectly.

    • Jet 12” 1/2 HP Drill Press - Best Deal on Amazon
Style: Benchtop drill plates
Review Image by HAMAN HAMAN
Snatched up this beauty for a heck of a good deal during Amazon Days! Amazon delivery driver did a fabulous job - placed right at my door step and the box was in perfect condition! All the parts were accounted for in excellent condition. Wiped all the greased parts down with denatured alcohol before assembly and relubed where needed after assembly with 3 in 1 oil. Easy to assemble. Some folks might need assistance lifting the motor assembly head as it’s heavy. Speed control, laser, work light, and all other parts work as they should. Very pleased with this purchase! ... show more

    • 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

    • Heavy and solid for a bench top model
Style: Benchtop drill plates
Arrived in good shape, well boxed and with foam inserts for protection during shipping. All parts accounted for. Lightly oiled for rust protection. Easy assembly. I had looked at a Sears model earlier in the week. It had a nice machined table with holes and slots. It would have been easier to bolt clamps etc to the table. Didn't realize Jet had t-slots. Will have to buy a set. :( Not a big deal. I will probably drill and tap some holes in the table to make clamping easier and more versitile. I do like the oil moat around the table. It will make cleaning a little easier. All in all, i am quite satisfied with this purchase. One person said that the digital readout stayed on all the time. I found that by turning on the light, then shutting it off, that the digital readout also shut off. ... show more
