This new drill press was designed with the woodworker in mind. Its design has many convenient features that other so-called "woodworking drill presses" do not offer. The twin LED lights are designed to eliminate cast shadows on the workpiece often produced by conventional lights. The twin lasers will pinpoint the bit entry on the workpiece. The expandable work table is the industry's largest in this class. The single handle speed changer allows you to run the full range of speeds without ever touching a belt, and the front mounted digital readout displays the exact speed the spindle is running. It also features a larger motor than any other drill press in its class to handle the heaviest jobs.
