Pros: A rigid and rugged model with 150 pounds of durability. Stands out for its smooth yet powerful performance and ability to do most any job with the proper attachments.

Cons: Doesn't have as many features as the Delta model.

Summary: A solid drill press that will get tough jobs accomplished, but we recommend the Delta for users who want the best model available.

Pros: A rugged model in a small package, but its size doesn't compromise its performance. Stands out for having a lot of power for the cost and a size that easily fits most work areas.

Cons: Some reviewers commented that the finish lacks the quality of similar models we tested, but the Shop Fox's performance is not affected by this concern.

Summary: A good choice for consumers who want the performance of a professional-grade drill press without paying the high price.

Pros: Though a basic drill press, this affordable model offers a 2-beam laser alignment system for precise drilling and impressive performance.

Cons: Though assembling this model is somewhat challenging, its value makes it worth the effort.

Summary: The combination of its value price and reliable performance make this model the best value available on the market.

Pros: A basic yet solid drill press. The cast iron construction of the table, drill head, and base provide the structure necessary to perform a wide range of jobs.

Cons: Lacks many convenient features that come standard on other models.

Summary: Consumers who simply want a no-frills drill press won't be disappointed, but we found that the SKIL is an all-around better value.
