This Ridgid 15 inch 12 speed floor drill press stands out as a strong value for a name brand shop tool, especially for drilling metal and general DIY work. The lifetime warranty and service network add appeal, and the price drops even further through military discount programs. Assembly is described as straightforward, and the machine can chew through aluminum much faster than a hand drill. The keyless chuck is a sticking point for some, and warranty shipping or delivery handling could be a hassle. A solid floor press if you want more speed and capacity than a handheld drill.
Common Questions (4)
At $264.50 it is described as a strong price for a new name-brand floor pedestal drill press, especially compared with older auction prices and higher Harbor Freight alternatives. A military/Xchange purchase can reportedly bring it down to about $238 shipped, with no tax.
It comes with a keyless chuck, which some buyers prefer and others dislike on a drill press. Swapping chucks is reportedly not difficult if you want to change it later.
The warranty language says service can be handled by prepaid shipment of the complete product to RIDGID in Elyria, Ohio, or through an authorized independent service center. A service-center locator shows multiple nearby centers, so Ohio is not the only option.
Assembly is reported to be simpler than expected, and the individual pieces are not too heavy for one person. Once set up and bolted down, it can drill through aluminum much faster than a 1/2-inch hand drill.

Still a great deal.
sidenote: I had never heard of the Wixey WL133 Drill Press Laser Crosshair before I watched the below video (the laser was mentioned in the comments). Has anyone here had experience with the Wixey Laser? https://a.co/d/057SgSIq
This is the best youtube review I found on precisely this drill press. Very straightforward and helpful review.
