General International Bench top drill press
By Sparky
I am an amateur intermediate woodworker. I am happy with this General International 14" bench top drill press. This is the first General International product I have purchased. I previously had a 20 year old Delta 1/3 HP bench top radial drill press which had no crank lift mechanism. This bench top drill press offers more HP at 1/2 HP. I am happy with the included Laser guide and the built in work light. The crank lift mechanism is a real upgrade. This is a good drill press at a reasonable price if your looking for a bench top drill press. General's 17" 3/4 HP bench top drill press was highly rated by Fine Woodworking but I couldn't find one to purchase online. I would rate General's 14" bench top drill press high as well.

By Stephen Gilskey
Being an avid woodworker and a former professional mechanic, I was looking for a high quality drill press for a reasonable price. I honestly didn't want one of the one hundred dollar Chinese made drill presses as they cannot give the level of accuracy necessary for the types of work I do. I chose this press because of its weight, size, manufacturer, and cost. It came in a pretty flimsy box by FedEx so I expected parts to be damaged but everything was intact. After assembly, I checked the alignment of the drill table to the spindle and it was perfect. Next, I checked the run out on the spindle (.005). After that, I drilled several holes in different material. 3" of hard maple with a 3/4" Forstner bit left a perfectly smooth hole. Drilling 1/2" steel with a 1/2" bit was similarly accurate. I give this drill press 5 stars. My only suggestions for improvement is in the packing. If you check out General Industrial Tools website you will also find this is the table top version of the 14" floor model. Any way you look at it, the drill press will give years of solid and accurate service.

By Tough Customer
This was one heavy box, but everything came intact. The assembly directions are OK--not great--and I eventually figured out how to put the drill press together. At one point I thought the column maybe did not come with the proper hardware, because it didn't match the written directions. It was merely a case of a collar having moved in transit. Fit and finish is just fine. Of course, lots of sticky residue on most of the metal, to prevent corrosion during shipping, but that's to be expected. The drill press works great and is quite quiet, considering the size of the motor. I'm happy with this purchase.
