I have the 17" Jet, assuming construction is pretty much the same like it looks from images this is a solid machine. You do have to open the top and move a belt to change speeds which can be inconvenient. I actually found a floor standing press worked better in my 1 car garage shop than a bench model. I have it on a wheeled base and it tucks nicely into a corner when not being used.
Seems to be a good deal for what it is... but if I'm dropping $1,000 on a drill press, I'm going with the Nova.

I'm not a fan of floor drill presses myself, as they tend to waste a lot of space. A good benchtop gives the option of making a storage base underneath it.

These "Ye Olde Drill Press" styles lack modernized tech. And in the US the drill press market has a huge markup for retailers, and yet very few advancements have been made over the decades. It's a bizarre part of the power tool industry.

But, I'll upvote it based solely on the lowered price. (But $140 shipping makes me feel like I'm buying it from Grizzly lol.)

would buy if I needed or could handle
even with the $140 freight, this warrants an fp post but probably not enough buyers to get there.

nice find op

We use these where I work, we've got two. Very solid machines if you need a big one.

I love quality tools, and this is one. I have an 1800 sqft shop at my house, but I am out of room or I would buy it.

I can't even tell you what I'd need it for, but it would look nice in my shop. Maybe time to start drilling out some 80% lowers... lol

IMO, the biggest benefit of a floor drill press is the ability to bolt it down to concrete. It makes a difference with stability and for dampening vibration. By virtue of the type of chuck used, no press is ever super accurate - but the ability to drill holes rapidly and square is darn useful. I use mine all the time and would hate to go back to a tabletop model. This one is pretty decent for the price.
