![]() I bought a 16 speed drill press no chuck.
It was $50 yesterday today they said $10. At $10 it was the one for me. It is 23 years old. I really bought it to make a plate steel top and put my mag drill on top of it. I tried to do this with a newer harbor freight drill press but it was to weak to handle it. It does not look like much but it should clean up and make a good mag drill stand. It works fine it just needs a new chuck.

![]() I do not agree! It looks really good, if you know what to look at.

![]() I looked it up and a 16 speed drill press is from $250-$300 I am thinking about getting a chuck for it.
If it does good then I will clean it up. I can make a mag drill stand from ½” plate steel.

![]() Harbor freight had a drill chuck that was the right size and it had decent reviews. So for $12 after 20% off and free LED light my drill press is a drill press again.
I just drilled a tractor pin where my other drill press was having trouble drilling straight holes in 30 mm 1144 Turned ground round. (tractor pins) This drill press drilled straight hole. I guess I will save it and use it as a drill press. I am at $32 for this little 16 speed drill press. I used it some more and adjusted the speeds. With some TLC this will be a decent drill press. I did not use it as I intended but I am happy I got it.
