Tons of power and Jet's renowned accuracy make this a great choice for the professional as well as the choosy home woodworker. The smooth-traveling table raises and lowers at the turn of a crank to exactly where you need it; the 3/4-inch chuck rides smoothly up and down. Angled drilling is no problem, because the rock-solid large worktable tilts to 45 degrees. The table is round, and that has its advantages, but it does give you a little less room for clamping. When it's time to change drill speed to any of the 12 speeds ranging from 150 to 4,200 rpm, just flip open the hinged metal cover, disengage the motor, slip the belt onto the right pulley and you're back at work in a flash. Our favorite feature on this nice machine is the built-in worklight, something we think every manufacturer should incorporate. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

A staple in the professional woodshop, a drill press should be able to perform grunt work, yet quickly adjust for precision applications. Jet's 16-1/2-inch model does just that. Made of cast-iron and heavy-gauge steel components, this press spins bits up to 5/8 of an inch with 16 speeds from 200 to 3,630 rpm. A 3/4-horsepower induction motor drives the belts, and, for your convenience, it can run off either 115-volt outlets (for which it comes prewired) or 230-volt sources. The large 13-3/4-inch worktable glides easily with rack-and-pinion adjustment and tilts 45 degrees right or left to accommodate your needs. Two features we like are the positive depth stop on the left side, which quickly adjusts and locks in place via three nuts, and the built-in lamp, a nice touch some competitors don't offer. Changing belt position is a snap after flipping open the hinged metal cover, and, to personalize the press for your comfort and peace of mind, you can adjust the tension on the spindle return spring, as well as lock out the start button to protect others in your absence. This industrial-style drill press is a tool any professional or serious home woodworker can depend on. --Justin Paul ... Read more

JET JDP-17mf drill press
If you are looking for a quality built floor standing drill press at a reasonable cost, look to JET's JDP-17MF. I could not be more pleased with mine. The shipping carton and receipt condition was excellent. The look, feel, and fit of the assembled tool is everything I expected. The operation of the tool with its sixteen speeds from 200 to 3630 rpm provides a wide range of speeds, so you can match the drilling speed to the job at hand. The JDP-17MF has a large table, which is easly lowered or raised to the perfect working height. The tool is massive, weighing in at almost 200 pounds. The motor runs smooth and quiet, and thanks to JET outfitting the tool with a three quarter horse power 110/220 V a.c. motor, you'll make fast work of drilling holes in all kinds ofmaterials. ... ...

Got Drilled
I searched, researched, read, and compared. I bought the JET. Could not find a drill press of any make that came close to the quality, function and performance at the price. It works very well and is a joy to have and use. From top to bottom, it has a...metal top cover, powerful 3/4 hp 115 or 220v motor, 16 speeds, easy to change belts, heavy duty on/off switch, 60 watt light!!, positve stop depth adjustment, great table and more. You can buy similar drill presses but don't skimp on the number of speeds. Get as many as you can afford and this JET has them. You'll appreciate the low 200 rpm when you use a large forstner bit and the top end speed for drilling metal. This is a very nice drill press...and at the price...it is even better.

Very Disapointed!
I purchased the Jet Drill Press from a local dealer and within the first month the metal bar on the side that allows you to move the table up and down bent very badly. When I went back to the dealer, they told me to lay the machine down on the ground on it's side and bend the part back. Well of course I cannot do this, at 5'4" and 120 pounds I could not possibly move the heavy drill press around top lay it down. Plus after spending over $400.00 including tax, I would expect a replacement. I was very very disapointed and I have decided against investing in the Jet Jointer and will go with the Delta model. Although I will say I do like my Jet supersaw very much. I would be leary of any Jet product as I have found it impossible to get any service center to come out to work on them.

Solid Drill Press
Received mine last week and I am very happy with it. The light adds an extra touch and the 5/8's chuck is great. No problems out of the box, no vibration and extra quiet. Easy to assemble and picture by picture steps were right on. I am liking the Jet products the more I see of them.

Nice press, especially with the $100 rebate
I bought the Jet press becasue I have used one before and was quite happy. Plus, with the $100 rebate I was able to pick up a Jet table saw as well. Good, solid drill press that I expect will last for MANY years. ... Read more

Jet milling machines
Jet machines are quite functional.

A milling machine is the heart of a machine shop.

If this is your first milling machine, expect to
spend and equal amount on the tooling you will need
to make it work. A clamping kit, an assortment of end mills
chucks and holders, a vice, a rotary table, an indexing head
and more will all be required to round out the purchase.

Horesepower translates into speed of material removal.
Bigger bits require greater power.

This is just a starter mill and you will want to upgrade
to something costing ten or twenty times as much when you
want to do production work as this one is all hand cranked
and requires a skilled operator to run it.

Did I mention that it cuts wood etc.? There are even machinable
ceramics which it can handle.

Again, expect to double the price (as a ballpark est.) on any
machine tool by the time it you are done. And plan to put it on
a solid foundation, not in your livingroom.

I use mine (a Jet VMM626) to make thermoplastic injection molds. ... Read more
