Craftsman 12" Drill Press 21914 —
I researched many bench top drill presses in the price range of the Sears Craftsman 12" drill press. The Craftsman won out over other brands based on features, fit and finish. I do some woodworking and a limited amount of hobby gunsmithing. Since I have limited space, a bench top model was desired. I have had this drill press for about one year and enjoy using it. It is accurate (no runout), quiet and vibration free.
Several items on the 12" model don't come standard with other brands. The digital depth display and the flexible led light are nice to have items -- the laser surprised me by being a useful device I'm now glad to have. Oh yeah, don't forget the fence that also comes with the drill press.
The second place choice for purchase was the Craftsman 15" floor model because of its 12 speeds (a low speed is useful for drilling metal). But the lowest speed of the 12" drill press is still useable for drilling into metal and the price was, of course, lower than the 15" model.
My face brightens into a smile everytime I walk into the room where my Craftsman 12" drill press resides! Well worth my money.
