jammy Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Looks a tad on the small side... Could be good for more precision stuff - drilling dot markers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) Looks good for a first one. A litle to low in power for bigger jobs, like Robosanders and so on. Edited November 13, 2005 by SwedishLuthier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Too small, get a bigger one! It's like bikes, you get a 250 to learn, thne you think it is too small and get a 600, thne that's under powered and get a 750, thne you get bored and need a bit more, and get a 900...so on.... If you can get the money! get a bigger one, one that you can place the whole guitar body on! This one on the pic you can use for small work! Thats it!

Mattia Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 That's fine for, say, headstocks, and minor sanding. About the same size as the one I have (due to space, not monetary restraints.) If you can swing it, and can drum up the cash, get a press that will easily drill through-body holes on a Telecaster, and maybe even on a larger/wider design if possible. All this said, a small drill press is much, much better than no drill press at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_A_T_T Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 A 13" is a good size for string-thru/bridge holes. Bigger would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have a 12" craftsman (which are always on sale, especially around the holidays) and that is plenty for me. Anything smaller would probably limit me in what I could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanscott6 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 If you have a Lowes nearby check out the Hitachi 15" drill press - complete with lasers! It's at $199. I brought in a Harbor Freight 20% off coupon (located here )and brought the price down to $160. Great drill press for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
