I'm tired of my 1/2hp jet bench top drill press.
I found locally a used Jet JDP-17 drill press. New they are $1200 BUT a few years ago they were only $800. Seller asking $599 but I'm going to try for $450.
However, it's a 3/4hp which is the same power as a Ridgid 15" drill press. The Jet is 16 speeds vs 12 on the Ridigd. Jet has a laser and likely more travel. The table is also larger.
Any thoughts? For my needs I think 3/4hp is enough.
