GARVEE 2.5Amp 8 Inch Benchtop Drill Press for Wood, Tilting Table

I am in the process of building book shelf and cabinet built-ins in our remodeled basement. For joinery I will be using a combination pocket hole screws, biscuits and wooden dowels. This drill press will come in handy for edge drilling holes in boards for wooden dowels so they can be joined and edge glued together to form cabinet tops.At first I wasn't sure if this came with a depth stop gauge because it wasn't clear in the product description. I was delighted to find that it does indeed come with one. It is mounted on the right side on the handle shaft.What I Likeo Compact size. Fits on bench top. Doesn't take up too much room. Big enough to be useful.o Mostly metal construction.o Safety on/off switch. Pull for "on." Push for "off."o Simple assembly. All small parts are already assembled.o Easy adjustment of table with a single hand screw. Holds securely.o Slots in table to accommodate a vise or other attachment.o Table can be tilted or swung aside for drilling larger items. Base has slots for vise.o Descent power from 2.5A motor.o Adjustable speeds to match drilling requirements.o Depth stop adjustment. Good for partially drilling holes for dowels or cabinet door hidden hinges.o Smooth and relatively quiet operation. No wobble or excessive vibration.o Budget friendly.Summary CommentsThis is a compact drill press that is small enough to fit on a bench top yet large enough to be useful. It is relatively quiet and runs smoothly. Assembly is simple. If you are looking for a budget friendly drill press that will perform operations not easily achievable with a hand drill, this is a good choice.

Have you always wanted drill press for your home ?This may be a Great option. First the cost is very good for what you are getting.It stands about 2 feet high and weighs about 45 poundsIt has a belt system to adjust speed, can comes with a safety shield (if desired)If you just need a drill press once in a while or do some repetitive drilling this might be your answer.5 Stars

I'm satisfied with product, however the instruction manual has Model: DP0813ZM but the Garvee specs. show BOCHJ8ZS81. Also garvee shows 5 Gear Speed Adjustment but the owners manual no mention. I gave the product 5 stars only because it meets my needs but makes me wonder, did I get the wrong product.

i've had one for about half a year, my only issue has been the depth gauge is incorrect, and the motor seems to get warm rather quickly. but I use it for drilling steel, and I might be a little hard on it. Adjusting the belt is real easy. And by adjusting the speed it gives me all the power that I need for half inch drill bits and larger. It doesn't have all the options though more expensive ones do, but it does the job I need to. So for the money, it's a good deal.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My light duty shop works well

Bought for gift for son in law. He is just beginning to do little projects around the house. No room for a floor model, plus we could not afford. Husband found this drill press and felt it was good for a first drill press. Son in law is very happy with it. It does everything he needs it to do.

WELL MADE AND EASY TO ASSEMBLE FOR AROUND THE HOUSE/HOME WORKSHOP USE

I would have given a 5 star, probably a 9 star, rating, but the column clamp had some metal casting overage and I had to spend a bit of time fitting it correctly. I've used it quite a bit now and it has been real solid. Definitely a pleasure to work with.Enjoy

I had this short bout with Harbor Freight and 2 of their drill presses that wobbled really badly. This one doesn't wobble, so it's already way ahead. It's great for hobbyists for sure. For 40 hours a week type use I'm not so sure, mine probably only has 20 hours of spinning time so far. It's basically the same thing from harbor freight in terms of controls and features. It makes holes and that's about it.

This review is for the 8 Inch Benchtop Drill Press, 2.5Amp Benchtop Drill Machine. Solid build and easy to assemble. It includes a guard but lacks variable speed control, but that’s ok given the price ($110). This is a good choice for occasional use.
