Overview
Grizzly builds the G7946 with a radial design that allows full adjustability and angle drilling. A crank handle moves the table by rack and pinion, and a keyed chuck is included.
The radial arm lets the head reach positions a standard column press cannot, and five speeds cover wood and light metal. The listed motor power is low for a floor machine, and the torque figure in the specs looks questionable.
Who it's for
A woodworker or hobby metalworker who wants radial reach and angle drilling will find the design matched. Heavy production users should look for a stronger motor and cleaner specifications.
Pros and cons
- Radial design for angle drilling
- Crank operated table movement
- Keyed chuck included
- Five speed settings
- Motor power looks low for the size
- Torque figure looks questionable
- Metal drilling capacity is modest
Performance notes
A radial head moves along an arm and tilts, so holes can be placed away from the column and at an angle. Motor power and the chosen speed set how large a bit the machine can drive, and the metal capacity figure shows the practical limit in steel.
