opinion on Wilton variable speed drill press

 

well i posted the auction but since i only have today to decide, thought i repost with a better subject heading. so here are the diff models available in this auction. would appreciate if anyone knows these models and can tell me if they are worthwhile. i am mostly interested in model 2010 due to low speed to allow metal work.



here is the link for auction. if you load their app you can search on drill press and quickly see all pics.

I can't offer any insight into the options offered but I have had a Wilton 2221VS 20" drill press for over 15 years that I purchased at auction.? The one I have is designed for metal working as it has a reverse, a coolant reservoir in the base, and is variable speed.? It has very solid construction and weighs nearly 900 lbs.? The table does not tilt and is quite large and stout with solid table adjustments and locks.? The only problem I have had is with the sheave variable speed as it locked up due to the lithium grease separating from the carrier.? That stuff is like glue getting it apart to clean and lubricate.? Overall, I give it a thumbs up especially if you intend on using it for metal work.

Hi Steve,

i really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. yes i was interested in this model for metal work. the auction also has a model with higher speed range more appropriate for wood. an urgent family matter came up last night so i am unable to pursue this. actually auction might be close to over by now. seems like good price but there is no word on condition. had i foond it earlier i could have seen them in person. i did. find out that all 20¡± doall bandsaws are 460V.
