Skil 10" Drill Press with Laser [Review]


I’ve wanted a drill press for a long time.  Recently I've had the need for one and I went looking online.  I was just looking out of curiosity because I knew I wouldn’t be buying anything.  I found what some might call a “mini” drill press on Amazon.  The Skil 3320-02.  It’s not exactly the industrial machine shop tool that I had in mind but I thought that it might work for most of what I need.  I ordered it.  Free Prime shipping makes buying stuff too easy sometimes.





Specs:
3.2A 120V motor
5 Speed 570-3050 RPM via adjustable belt and stepped pulleys
2 Beam laser X (the "laser" seems gimmicky but it works as intended)
½” Chuck
45° Tilting work surface



The box arrived in decent shape.  Unfortunately, I had to put it in the garage and wait for the weekend to put it together.  I took me about a half an hour to set the drill press up.  The assembly was easy and well documented.  The manual lists the tools required for setup as an adjustable wrench, a Philips screwdriver, a hammer, and a block of wood.  Which for me meant a 12mm wrench, Phillips screwdriver, plastic mallet, and the two included Allen wrenches.



For what is basically a $110 drill press I’m impressed.  I assume Skil (Bosch) has these things manufactured in China by some third party as I’ve seen other brands that look a lot like this machine.  Maybe they’re just cheap imitations or maybe Skil keeps tighter quality controls.  I don’t know.  I do know that I’m extremely satisfied with the purchase.  This is a cool little drill press.  It certainly wouldn’t hold up in a machine shop setting with heavy daily use, but it will do what I need just fine.  I can see getting years of use out of it and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to someone for their home.

    I already own several Skil 3320-02 tools. It did not disappoint me at all. It can be said that, within a week they will start to understand how worth it is to buy and then will start suggesting others to get that.

    The bench top drill press mounts directly on its own stand or to a workbench. The compact sizes make this drill press a good choice for small shops.

    Great clothes and apparel are also critical. Chainsaw sharpening will generally lead to metal splintering that may damage your arms, arms, and eyes.


    Part of having a chainsaw is keeping it preserved and powerful. To try it, it is absolutely important to sometimes sharpen its chain. Since you can perform it in a number of manners, the best way to do this is using a technical chainsaw sharpener.
