Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this device for my shop so that I could test out the fixed and adjustable C-C multiple spindle drilling heads I sell.I've used it to spin two spindle heads as well as 20 spindle heads.It is a great machine.It even has a quill notch and set-screw-like device to manage rotation of the quill.Quite a nice feature.
We suggest this unit to our customers on a regular basis and the only complaint we or our customers have ever had concerns the method in which you change the RPM rate.It's not a machine I would want to adjust daily because the belt and pulley set-up isn't very user friendly...But if it is being used for repetitious work and a lead screw tap machine isn't justified for tapping or you want to spin a multiple spindle drilling or tapping unit, it's a great machine.
If given the choice between using this drill press, a smaller Grizzly we own or an older, WWI era machine, I choose this machine every single time.
We even set up a special control for the motor so that it can be used in ultra-high volume tapping operations.
Only the speed change difficulty issue keeps me from giving it five stars.I'd give it 4.5 if that was an option...
If you want a relatively heavy duty drill press and can't justify an AutoDrill or want a tapping machine and don't want to go the route of an automatically reversing tapping head, single or multiple spindle lead screw tap machine or an even more expensive servo-driven unit, this is the machine to look at.Period.
I've got a video of the machine running a multiple spindle tapping head if anyone would like to see it.Just Google "A Very Simple Drill Press Tapping Operation for Multiple Holes" or check on YouTube for the same title.
