Your cart is empty.For woodworkers wanting greater precision than a handheld drill offers, the SKIL 6.2 Amp 10-Inch Benchtop Drill Press offers a powerful induction motor with a LASER alignment system (Laser Class: II; Maximum Average Radiant Power: 0.83mW) to execute precise drilling maneuvers. Its five-speed system runs from 610 to 2,800 RPM for different material types and its adjustable depth stop and adjustable table height provide accurate depth control during drilling.

I needed to drill over 300 7/16" holes in steel and needed a drill press to do it. My application was probably more than this unit was designed for but it handled it pretty well, with a little patience. The laser cross hair was way more handy than I would have guessed, and was exact right out of the box. Others complained about the white LED light not being bright enough, and while I wouldn't use it to illuminate a prison yard, it definitely helped reduce shadows. I would but this unit again and would recommend it. Lots of sturdy metal construction where it counts.

Wish I had bought sooner. I don’t have the space or the money for a big ol’ Powermatic, this will have to do for now.Set up was easy. The table wanders all over during adjustment, so the laser is handy for lining that back up if for nothing else. Laser was way off when I got it, but nudging the little doohickey with my thumb brought it back. I get a touch of travel out of the chuck, it wobbles slightly left. Also, when I power down something in the motor sounds a playing card in your bike spokes. Those things would tick me off in 1600 dollar machine, for this price you have to expect a little funkiness I figure. If it blows up I’ll come back and update.Incidentally, the way I dial in the laser is to mount a bradpoint or forstner, poke a little hole in some clamped scrap wood and mess with the laser until it lines up. I have to do this every couple of weeks or so, it doesn’t wander too far.UPDATE a year later: The press still works great; the only thing I have noticed is that in addition to a slight wobble left, when I bring the press all the way down, the bit ticks off to the left about a 1/16 of an inch. This would be horrible for accuracy, but at that point the bit is usually buried in the piece and the hole keeps it in line.Also, I added the Rockler drill press table, which is meant for full size drill presses and doesn’t really work with this one, but I got it to fit with some diy adjustments. The down side is that the table blocks the use of the adjustment crank, so I have to use a wrench to adjust the table up or down. Also I can’t use the vacuum port. Other than that it’s a nice addition for repeat cuts.

i would not call this top quality, it doesn't feel like the components are that beefy.. but it does the job and seems to drill through steel on the slowest setting with no problem... a bit of vibration until you make contact , then it drills true and does a decent job . good enough for a tinkerer like me... light and laser were spot on for me and assembly went smoothly. it's also fairly quiet and smooth.... again aside from a slight wobble when free spinning .

This is a well built, versatile bench-top drill press with a host of good features. I bought it for the size, motor HP, 1/2" chuck, and laser alignment. It has five motor speeds which are selected by moving the drive belt to different pulleys. The laser alignment works perfectly. The table tilts up to 45 degrees, though you need a wrench to make adjustments. The table also swivels around the main post.When mine arrived, the plastic collar holding the drill depth stop was broken. I registered with Skil online (that gets you a three-year warranty) and called them to ask for the part. They sent it out right away, free of charge, and it arrived in less than a week.

I knew going in this would get me by until my larger drill press was fixed. Overall this thing is built pretty good. Easy to assemble, packaged well.Mine had a little runout issue at first then I took the chuck out and reinstalled It got better . It's not a precision machining drill, but pretty good for its size. I started with 1/4" steel plate with a 1 1/2" hole saw. It did rather well with cutting oil. "I honestly thought I'd burn the motor up right at the start. It didn't. The belt slipped some on the plastic pulleys and the motor has some sort of cut out when it gets stuck. Worked pretty good. I then went onto 3/8" aluminum plate with a 1-3/8" hole saw "not carbide tipped" and it did pretty good even with the galling. I'm hard on equipment and this little sucker did good for what it is.

Me encantó el taladro. Muy buena calidad, tamaño y potencia y a un muy buen precio. Mucho mejor que otros de otras marcas de 10", mas barato, mas potencia y mejor calidad. Muy sorprendido por la calidad de Skill.
