Powerful Motor and Adjustable Tension Spindle Return for Consistency
The JDP-15M owes its robust performance to a 3/4 HP, 115/230-volt motor for reliable power and variable speed. It also has a 15-inch swing and includes an adjustable tension spindle return that's ideal for repetitive drilling of the same depth.
Time-Saving Hinged Metal Belt, Pulley Cover, and Quick-Set Bolt
A hinged metal belt and pulley cover provide quick and easy access to the quick adjustment motor mount, making for rapid spindle speed changes. To save you even more time, the depth stop displays in both inches and millimeters, and it has a quick-set bolt for fast, accurate adjustments.
Push-Button Switch and Ball bearing Construction for Safety and Durability
Designed to be both durable and user-friendly, the JDP-15M features a push-button switch conveniently located on the front, and the spindle is supported by high-quality ball bearings. Finally, the 66-millimeter quill assembly can fit the optional Jet mortising attachment--perfect for those looking to expand the capabilities of the drill press.
The JDP-15M measures 23 x 12 x 32 inches (WxHxL), weights 163 pounds, and comes with a five-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.
What's in the Box
Bench mount drill press, 5/8-inch drill chuck, and key.

Combined with a quality drill press vise (6" or larger), you can do just about anything. I build custom furniture and use this press for numerous purposes, and can confidently drill accurate stopped holes in curved hardwood stock without problems.The press comes via freight in a single box. It is HEAVY but can be man-handled around on the ground without too much issue. You will need to assemble the press out of the box. Assembly is very easy - until you need to lift the drill head and motor housing onto the column. It is possible to do it yourself if you are tall and strong, but I recommend having a helper because it is a bit of a workout. All parts are well-machined and HEAVY. The base and column are substantial pieces of metal, and the worktable is larger than most. Fit and finish are good - the work table...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: JET 354165 JDP-15M 3/4-HP 15-Inch Bench Drill Press (Tools & Home Improvement) I decided to write this review since it didn't have a very good rating. I've had my drill press since April 2008 and I use it quite often. I haven't had any problems. It does everything I need. It drills very straight without wobble. I do woodworking and pen turning. It was easy to set up, although it was very heavy so I needed assistance placing the top portion on the lower portion. Like one reviewer wrote, it's a table top but it's not small. It's works and acts like a full size press. If you're looking for a press that is portable or that you can move around your bench, this isn't for you. I put mine on a cabinet I built that has wheels so I can move it around the garage.I would highly recommend it. ***May 25, 2010 Update*** Still using the drill press, a lot, and still working great and I would still recommend it. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: JET 354165 JDP-15M 3/4-HP 15-Inch Bench Drill Press (Tools & Home Improvement) I was looking for a benchtop drill press, and decided to get the jet. It is called a bench top drill press but i think that it is a full size drill press on a short pole. The table top is the biggest in its class. Changing speeds and setting the depth stop are excellent. Spend the extra money for a 3/4 hp instead of a 1/2 or 1/3 hp. Just another great jet product. |
