  • Cast-iron construction with heavy-steel components
  • Includes drill press, drill chuck and key; bulb for work light not-included
  • 178-Pound; 1-year limited warranty
A staple in the professional woodshop, a drill press should be able to perform grunt work, yet quickly adjust for precision applications. Jet's 16-1/2-inch model does just that. Made of cast-iron and heavy-gauge steel components, this press spins bits up to 5/8 of an inch with 16 speeds from 200 to 3,630 rpm. A 3/4-horsepower induction motor drives the belts, and, for your convenience, it can run off either 115-volt outlets (for which it comes prewired) or 230-volt sources. The large 13-3/4-inch worktable glides easily with rack-and-pinion adjustment and tilts 45 degrees right or left to accommodate your needs. Two features we like are the positive depth stop on the left side, which quickly adjusts and locks in place via three nuts, and the built-in lamp, a nice touch some competitors don't offer. Changing belt position is a snap after flipping open the hinged metal cover, and, to personalize the press for your comfort and peace of mind, you can adjust the tension on the spindle return spring, as well as lock out the start button to protect others in your absence. This industrial-style drill press is a tool any professional or serious home woodworker can depend on. --Justin Paul Hinged metal belt and pulley cover provides easy access to the quick adjustment motor mount to allow rapid spindle changes; Rotating, 45 deg. tilting crank-operated worktable has quick release clamp for fast, accurate adjustments; 1/2" diameter external positive depth stop has a dual-nut locking feature for quick adjustments
