[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-31 Summary: excellant value and well made. ... This was my second drill press from CPOSkill as the first one was defective. The company was very good about paying the return freight as well as shipping a replacment. If you buy this drill press, check the belt, it shouln't be tight or it well wear out the spindle.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-05 Summary: 6 inch drill press vice ... I have used the small, three inch drill press vice, for years.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-09 Summary: Works great for me! ... Let me start off by saying that when I bought this product, I knew it would not fit my 12" drill press. I like a challenge so I got it and found if I drilled and tapped the base it becomes easily adjustable and works just fine.

Tapping the holes means I dont have a bolt and nut to contend with, just two bolts (that is all I really needed) and 20 seconds to get everything where I ...more
