The retractable roller extension provides support and quick work piece adjustment to help ensure your workspace is always stable and secure. At the same time, a large paddle switch provides easy shut off and lockout protection to help prevent accidents or errors.
The JDP-12 is backed by a three-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

![]() Five spindle speeds make the 30-251 ideal for commercial or home workshops. View larger. |
![]() Tilting head lets you tackle a wide range of tasks. View larger. |
Fast Adjustments and Speed Changes
To help ensure consistency and precision, the 30-251 has a rack and pinion table height for fast, easy adjustments with the turn of a handle. There's also a clutch depth stop that sets quickly and assures accuracy, making the 30-251 ideal for repeated drilling.
Additionally, this drill press includes a speed-selection chart right on the machine, so you can match the correct speed to the job. For further convenience, a handy chuck key holder helps keep everything organized and where it should be.
Moving Head Accommodates a Variety of Board Widths
Whether the job is big or small, the 30-251 keeps things going smoothly. Large feed handles give you optimum control without sacrificing comfort, while the 360-degree rotating head tilts 45 degrees to the left and 90 degrees to the right--a great feature when you're drilling balustrades into stair railings.
Perhaps the most helpful design feature, however, is the moving head, which can shift back and forth for different board widths. This gives you the ability to drill on-center of wide boards or drill multiple holes along a center line.
Dimensions and Warranty Information
The 30-251 measures 64 inches high, weighs 134 pounds, and is backed by a two-year warranty.
