*Bought as a gift for my son and his second grade son to use on a Pinewood Derby car. Wanted something relatively safe and able to be packed away when not in use. Worked well. **MyBest.Tools** Easy to use and set up. Case provides good storage.*
I am looking for a drill press and was looking at the nova but saw a jet in store and the price was 729.00 with 100.00 off Nov 23 thru Nov 26. Nice video you convinced me to buy the jet 17in drill press.
Great review. I wish all review in general, would mention country of manufacturer. We know its China most of the time, but some companies are fighting the trend. Thanks
@@daveswoodshop782 This machine must be very top heavy to be on a mobile base. What size foot print does your base have to prevent it from toppling over
I have it on a Harbor Freight #95288 mobile base. Dimensions are only 16 x 23 in., It is 2in. wider than the drill press base on each side. I have way more expensive mobile bases on the other machines in my shop but because this machine is so tall and top heavy this base worked out best. It is solid as a rock yet easy to move when I need to.
@@daveswoodshop782 Symmetry & Design play a influential role in my workshop and in my life... I could never incorporate a design such as this into my shop. Balance must always be maintained.
