This press has worked like a charm for my projects ru-vid.comUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
Eddie your allright. Freed up a 20 year old skil drill heavy duty with a Jacobs chuck of course. Been misplaced for over 20 years. Glad I found it again.. Thank you.!
I used a different lubricant but the two pliers was the missing factor to release it for me ✅ I was struggling for a bit but it worked 😅👍🏿 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿 Happy New Year 🎤🎻🎸🎹🪗🎺🎷🥁🪕🪘 Prayers out for you and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
@@FieldGuidetoDIY Yeah, just gotta hold back on it with, soon to be rampant rheumatism! - Subscribed by the way, plenty of useful videos you have archived.
Like my Dad always said: You only need two things in life: Duct Tape and WD-40. If it moves and shouldn’t, use Duct Tape, if it doesn’t move and should, use WD-40. Weird that he said it while giving us a toast at my wedding, but I divorced my ex-wife 5 years later. On the bright side, that advice still remains helpful to this day.
For the record, WD-40 is neither a good penetrating oil nor lubricant. It's a water displacer. Liquid Wrench is a better penetrant, and 3 in 1 is a better lubricant. WD-40 leaves a sticky film after it dries for a week or so. -Old dude
