Still Performing After Three Years of Use

ByTim D.TOP 500 REVIEWERon November 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this in February 2010 and have been happily using it in my shop ever since.

I put a lot of research into this purchase and discovered the following: No matter which brand of drill press you research, there seems to be a lot of negative reviews for the drills. Even the old standards, like Delta, JET and Craftsman have tons of negative reviews. The problem is that just about all power tools these days are made in the same Asian factories and subject to the same quality control issues. With that in mind, it really doesn't make sense to pay more for one Chinese drill press than another. All I do is look for the tool with the least amount of one, two and three star reviews, and buy it. When I researched drill presses, this Grizzly had the least amount of negative reviews and the most features at the best price.

My only complaint about this drill press is that there is a small amount of spindle wobble. It's just enough to see with your eye, but isn't bad enough to cause me any concern since I'm not using this for precision work. A year ago, I bought five brands of hand drills and they all had some runout, so I assume it's the new lower standard in power drills. It makes me wonder what machinists do when they need to drill very precise, small holes.

I've used this drill press to drill holes as large 7/16" in 1/2" steel plate, and cut holes in aluminum and 14 gauge steel (with a hole saw) as large as three inches; and of course any kind of wood drilling is no challenge for this Grizzly.

The biggest negative of this drill press is also one of its biggest positives... it's very heavy duty. According to the product information, it weighs 160lbs. I haven't weighed mine, but this thing isn't exactly something you want to be moving around all the time. Mine has set exactly where I placed it three years ago, and I have no intention of moving it if I don't need to.

Mixed results

ByWilliam Calomirison September 21, 2017

This drill press has some spindle wobble issues, and problems hogging through wood with forstner bits no matter whether it's cabinet grade plywood or solid maple. the bots get bogged down and take a long time (sometimes 5+ minutes per hole depending on material composition and thickness).

the bed is difficult if not impossible to attach drill press vices to, even if they are made by the same manufacturer.

it does, however, drill somewhat straight holes even wiyh the spindle wobble which is the only reason I've given it 3 stars.

I finally got my new Grizzly installed. I made a stand the rite height about 32in and turned it on. This machine is nice and talked to someone that worked for Grizzly so when he seen mine he said that I made the rite choice. Very quiet and smooth and I think it will be my last on one for me. Way to go Grizzly Very satisfied

Great drill press

ByEdward Malleyon March 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Does exactly what a drill press should. I don't use it that often, although it works well every time I use it. Easy to use. Easy to set up.

For the money it is ok but.....

ByAssembleron January 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

Over all this drill press is ok but for a few important issues.
First there is runout (wobble) , not a huge problem for woodworking nut I would not recomend this for metal working. I have tried to fix it by removing , cleaning then reinstalling the chuck assembly but was not successful in solving the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.
Second, the table has no through holes to mount items. The T slot channels are also very unevenly milled but which I managed to use to mount a larger accessory table. Would have been nice if they were smooth.
Thirdly, the three plunge handles are too long and interfere with my accessory table, might have to shorten them.
Overall I am satisfied with this machine but it sure could be improved, and it very much needs improvement! I was not expecting a great machine for the money I paid and it met my expectations. So quality is so so. Hope this helps.

Very Nice Drill Press for The Money

BySparkyon December 8, 2015

I found this to be a very good drill press for the price. When shopping, it seems no one offers a nice American made one so the Chinese-built are the only solution for a homeowner's budget. Mine arrived in good time and the semi driver assisted in getting it to the street. I think it weighs around 150 pounds which I could have handled but the assist made things easier. I used my two wheel cart to get it to my garage and opened to inspect. The unit is packaged extremely well and it would be rare to incur shipping damage unless really abused. Assembly was very easy once I wiped the excess oil off most surfaces. I had no difficulty assembling on my own even though Grizzly calls it a two-person job. I assume that is for legal reasons; it is not THAT heavy. I am impressed by noise levels and the only real issue in that department is the tin belt guard. They make noise on every press I have ever used. It is not a great amount of noise but is usually different every time I turn it on. I may slit some rubber tubing and insert between top and bottom of guard; that should help immensely. The chuck is massive and will work for any drilling I have to do. My dial indicator showed approximately three thousands run out and that is good enough for me. I suppose I could fuss with it and reduce it a bit but probably will not bother. I already have a Delta variable speed press (12") and may just give it to my son and keep the Grizzly (I actually purchased the Grizzly for him!). The only addition I will make is to add a cross slide vice. They make operations so much easier.

Great machine, poor delivery service

ByRichardon July 5, 2010

Verified Purchase

Drill press arrived at the earliest date it was promised. The bad thing about delivery was, we were told it would be delivered between noon and 2:00 pm. It was sent to my son's home. He had knee surgery a day beore it was delivered. Needless to say, I had to be there and after a call to UPS at 2:00, they said it was the next item to be delivered and the truck was about 3 miles away. It arrived at 4:45 pm. Don't believe what they tell you.
