Well built

This replaces a cast steel Craftsman drill press that has been in service many years . Not as heavy duty as that one but a very good replacement . Also a very nice look for updated drill press . Wasn’t sure about ordering without seeing in person but very happy with purchase .Good instructions & very easy to assemble parts . Would buy again

Good drill press

I am a custom knife maker (@t_roseknives) and I am happy with the jet drill press. I use it for drilling all my knives for handle pins. I like how you can easily adjust the speed with a lever on the side with ease. The light and laser dot for drilling holes with accuracy is a huge benefit. The only thing I was disappointed with was i assumed it was made in USA and it’s not. China. But overall it works well and I would recommend.

Well made

Generally, the JWDP-12 drill press seems to be very well made and can be set up to do accurate work. Like any other tool, some time spent ensuring that everything is set square is worthwhile. In this case, I found that the initial set up was very straight-forward.I like the table post holder as it allows me to use a cross-slide vise from another manufacturer, one that also offers a mount for the vise that fist the same post configuration.I found the laser cross-hair to be very close, the chuck set in place accurately, and any run-out is nearly imperceptible.The only negative for me, and it is a minor one, is that the table is not adjustable to 90 degrees. I do have a work-around for that, but it would be nice if the table could be set to a vertical position.

Great drill press

Jet has been around for a long time and makes some great products. This is the reason I went with this drill press.Showed up a day early, box was completely intact. Packaged nicely. No defects and it works perfectly.

You won’t regret this but!

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!

Heavy and solid for a bench top model

Arrived in good shape, well boxed and with foam inserts for protection during shipping.All parts accounted for. Lightly oiled for rust protection. Easy assembly.I had looked at a Sears model earlier in the week. It had a nice machined table with holes and slots. It would have been easier to bolt clamps etc to the table. Didn't realize Jet had t-slots. Will have to buy a set. :( Not a big deal. I will probably drill and tap some holes in the table to make clamping easier and more versitile. I do like the oil moat around the table. It will make cleaning a little easier. All in all, i am quite satisfied with this purchase.One person said that the digital readout stayed on all the time. I found that by turning on the light, then shutting it off, that the digital readout also shut off.

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.
