Ingco DP3211005 1500W Drill Press with 9 Spindle Speeds

Our review

This is a floor-standing style drill press aimed at workshop users who need consistent, perpendicular holes rather than handheld drilling. Its 1500W motor and nine spindle speed settings, spanning 150 to 2020rpm, let you slow down for large bits in metal and speed up for smaller holes in wood or plastic. The 32mm maximum drilling capacity and 20mm chuck diameter suit fairly substantial bits, while the 425mm by 475mm table gives decent workpiece support. Before buying, confirm your power supply matches 220-240V at 50Hz, measure the space for the base and column, and check that the spindle speed range covers the materials you work with most. Compared with smaller benchtop presses, this offers more power and capacity, but it is also heavier and less portable, so consider whether you need a fixed station or something you can move easily. Think about the bits and workholding you already own, since those affect what you can actually do on day one. It is available on Sokonia.
