Our verdict

A full-size floor drill press with electronic speed control, a laser guide and saved presets. It is a heavy shop machine with a tall frame, so plan the space and the circuit before ordering.

Overview

In a woodworking or metal shop, this JET floor drill press stands on a cast iron base with a reversible spindle and electronic variable speed. A built-in laser and LED light help line up the bit on the work.

Continuous variable speed with stored presets and a password lock lets a shop dial in settings for each material without swapping belts. The machine is large and heavy, and the listing gives voltage in two forms, so wiring needs a double check.

Who it's for

A serious woodworker or fabricator who drills many hole sizes will value the speed range and presets. Hobbyists with limited space or a standard household circuit should look at a smaller bench model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Continuously variable speed
  • Saved user presets
  • Laser guide and LED light
  • Cast iron construction
Cons
  • Very heavy and tall
  • Voltage listed two ways
  • Needs a dedicated circuit

Performance notes

Electronic speed control lets the operator match spindle speed to bit size and material, with slow speeds for large bits and metal and fast speeds for small bits in wood. A heavy cast iron column and base damp vibration, which helps hole accuracy. The laser marks the bit position and the stored presets repeat a speed setting without adjusting by hand.
