amazingkevin Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 The big box store now has a drill press with huge space to make pens or any thing else.Mini drill presses could only drill 3" 0r 4" now you can do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 That would be nice to have in the shop if I had the bench space for it. I am crammed into a 10 x 10 area that I share with the laundry. Been trying to coopt the garage but that is not going to happen anytime soon hehe. Thanks for the alert on the drill press Kevin.

amazingkevin Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have my eye on it now too!I need to sell something but what.The land lands having the insurance company come to look over the property. This could be the end of my out side shop ,plus the insides of my efficiency is loaded too.I'm way to hurt to do much about it at this time .The insides is organized but the outsides need some tidying up .God only know what they want.Maybe if i hang 3 fire extinguishers around i might buy some time???Whos got money to waste on them???Maybe if i cover things up ????Maybe one of our members is an insurance estimated and can give me a heads up ???

Phantom Scroller Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'll be surprised if it drills 10" once you have drill in and a piece of scrap underneath Kev. as for insurance do you think someone has set you up and called them or was it your landlord requested it.

Sparkey Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have the same drill press. The Lazer is bright and the chuck will hold the small drill bits I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Kevin, this is a 10" drill press, but that doesn't mean that you can drill a hole 10" deep. The depth that you would probably be able to drill with this particular drill press is about three inches, maybe four. The way they usually report the size of a drill press, is two times the distance from the face of main post to the center tip of the chuck closed. I don't know why they size them this way, but, that's how they do it. Len Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want to look at is "spindle travel" or "quill travel" to determine the depth of hole that can be drilled. This saw has only a 2" quill travel, from what I can determine.

I know what you mean about having to sell something to buy something Kevin. I need an HDD for my laptop so I have to sell my Xbox system. Kinda like, "robbing peter to pay paul"!

Len I figured as much but you can use a longer drill bit and keep raising up the table till you drill a 6 " deep hole.Seems like bit's possible?

ike Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have the same drill press It does the job in our line of hobby. I don't think that I paid that much for it but it is worth it. Hay DW I have one in my Sholom which is 8X10. also have a 10 in table saw. When i want to use the table saw I push the Scroll saw back into its hole and pull out the table saw. A the end of the day I put my lawn mower in the shed for the night, it's how you have your shop lied out. I also have a 28 in X 7 ft. work bench.
