Got the drill press and its really nice for the price. All the major components are good quality metal.
The table is only 7" round, does have a nice metal strip degree marking for tilting. It has a quick release handle for easy repostioning.
The base is only about 6x7 work area.
The head unit has a nice depth gauge, the pulleys are metal, the chuck is a mortise type.
All in all, for a bench top unit for that price is a good deal. I haven't used it yet, ( see below), but I think is gonna be fine for my needs.
Now, for the not so good. After unpacking, I found that the motor fan shroud was dent such the the motor would not turn on. Removed it and no problem. It's easy enough to take the dent out. The package was not damaged so I think it happened in packaging. Also, the power switch mounting bracket was broken, again during packaging.
It works but it feels as if its gonna come out.
Fired off some emails to grizzly today informing them of this in order to check other units. Guess what.....I got replies withn the hour and getting a new switch shipped to me.
So, for me, Grizzly is good people, with a good product line.
