Review: Good Drill Press - 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. Review: Awesome press - Fantastic drill. Speed control is accurate and very easy to use. Well built and I'm very happy with my purchase! ## Features - Variable-speed system drives motor from 530 to 3,100 RPM - 10" x 16-1/8" cast iron base fits neatly on work benches with limited space - Oversized, ergonomic knobs provide ease of use and maximum control - LED work light increases visibility for intricate applications - Retractable roller extension provides support and quick workpiece adjustment - Clear linear scale with depth stop for consistent drilling depths - Innovative X-shaped XACTA Laser ensures drilling accuracy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01C9TW7LO | | Additional Features | Variable Speed | | Amperage | 5 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #174,804 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #19 in Benchtop Drill Presses | | Brand | Jet | | Brand Name | Jet | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 247 Reviews | | Drill Type | Drill Press | | Drilling Capacity Metal | 0.5 Inches | | Drilling Capacity Wood | 13 Millimeters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00731325455885 | | Included Components | Head Assembly, Table, Table Arm & Support Assembly, Base, Column and Rack Assembly, Handles (x4), Arbor, Drift Key, Chuck Key, Lock Handles (x2), Hardware, Wrenches (x2) | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 16.13"L x 10"W x 37"H | | Item Type Name | Drill Press | | Item Weight | 85 Pounds | | Manufacturer | JET | | Manufacturer Part Number | 716000 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 5-Year Warranty (if used for commercial or industrial purposes then defaults to a 2-Year Warranty) | | Material Type | Cast Iron, Steel | | Maximum Chuck Size | 13 Millimeters | | Maximum Power | 0.5 Horsepower | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 3100 RPM | | Model Number | 716000 | | Number of Speeds | 16 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Speed | 3100 RPM | | UPC | 731325455885 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 115 Volts | ## Product Details - **Amperage:** 5 Amps - **Brand:** Jet - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 3100 RPM - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Voltage:** 115 Volts ## Images ![JET 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press (JWDP-12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uUnrXyL9L.jpg) ![JET 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press (JWDP-12) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lCWYHfO3L.jpg) ![JET 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press (JWDP-12) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eUbuMFEvL.jpg) ![JET 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press (JWDP-12) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sF-1Bpo0L.jpg) ![JET 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press (JWDP-12) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6128GPkCwcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many come in one order?** A: I got six, too, but consumed one on the way home.

Speed control is accurate and very easy to use. Well built and I'm very happy with my purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You won’t regret this but! *by S***. on June 14, 2024* 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - JET 12-Inch Benchtop Drill Press, Variable Speed, 1/2 HP, 115V 1Ph (Model JWDP-12) - WEN DPA2412T 24 in. x 12 in.
