Best deal I've seen on a name brand floor pedestal drill press in a very long time. I have the similar Porter Cable and it has served me well through years of daily commercial use.

Don't forget to register after purchase for free lifetime parts and service.

Thanks OP, seems like a good deal. I've been wanting to add a drill press to the garage for many years. Now I just need to find a way to make room for it. I'm a home DIY'er and projects for friends. Ridgid has served me well.

The keyless chuck is a turn off for me on a drill press.

Changing out a chuck is really not that difficult

Funny, I am just the opposite. I bought a keyless chuck to replace the keyed one on my Porter Cable drill press and love it. Can I tell you? I love it.

Great deal! I had considered some of the Wen deals but almost all of my tool arsenal is Rigid and love the LSA!

You used to be able to pick these up at any tool auction for under 100, those days are loooong gone. Pretty good price for a new one. Definitely recommend bolting this thing done once you get it.

This is a second recent deal where HD is not allowing the military discount to be stacked.
Still a great deal.

THANKS OP!! I was somewhat hesitant to pull the trigger as reviews are not what I would call stellar. But, with lifetime warranty and a very manageable price, I went for it.

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.

Very tempting. I have been keeping an eye on drill presses on marketplace, but this is a screaming deal.

With inflation going the way it is, it's questionable whether we will ever see this sub-$300 again.

Bought one. Was about to buy Harbor Freight for $500. I feel like, as a simply DIY'er, this has to be a no-brainer if you're in the market for one.
