    Purchased this drill press to drill cast iron parts for our product. It works perfectly for our application. The laser was adjusted perfectly out of the box for our use. This is a good buy for the money and we were able to tailor our fixtures to the table for accurate drilling. Have had this in use for a month now and have no complaints. I wanted to buy and old heavy duty press but ran out of time to look for one - No regrets we will be picking up a 15" one this spring! Nice prod

    The Jet 12” Drill Press is exactly what I wanted. It’s well built and versatile with the variable speed spindle.

    Purchased to replace our 20 year old Delta
    Drill works as expected. The speed adjust is nice. The spindle only has about 0.002” roll-out which isn’t bad. The table that came with it lacks a front to back bevel adjustment making it more challenging to level it. The finish is rougher than I’d have expected from a Jet. The reason for this maybe that it’s a rebranded Wen. It looks literally identical to the Wen 4214T which Home Depot currently sells for $229. My advice to anyone considering buying the Jet JWDP-12 would be to buy the Wen instead and save some money.

      I really like this tool and it has done a great job for me so far. There are a couple of design elements that I wish had been executed a bit better, but overall, I’m super happy with it

      Too Small, I returned it! If you would have had one on display at the store, I could have made my decision before purchasing!
