![]() Rockler offers several models of drill presses. Whether drilling a tenon for a chair rung or a series of holes with a Forstner bit to hollow out a mortise, the drill press is the only tool that can guarantee an unwavering, straight-sided hole. However since I did not want to buy a full drill press and already had a more than powerful drill I decided to give this a shot despite not so good reviews on other sites for similar products. I was a little bit skeptical purchasing this product. I'm picky and wanted the height to exactly match my current setup and that was very easy to do.This is a very heavy, simple, and solid piece of equipment for $89 and I. Further, you only have the get the height roughly correct using this method, then tweak the height-modifying rubber feet to exact height and level specifications.I mounted a heavy, maple workbench top on mine to match my existing Gladiator workbenches. I had read his review before buying, otherwise I would have been surprised by this.That said, as long as you can hold the height steady with one hand and tighten the handle with the other, it's easy and very secure. It simply clamps the height wherever you're holding it. The previous reviewer is correct - the handle in the photo looks like it would crank the stand higher and lower but it does not.
