Grizzly Industrial - Grizzly G7943 Benchtop Drill Press
The Grizzly G7943 benchtop drill press features a belt-change handle and a work light
Jul 01, 2007
Grizzly’s model G7943 benchtop drill press earned high all-around marks with good drilling power, yet it was one of the lease expensive benchtops we tested, at $225. We rated it Best Value. This model comes with a lever that allows you to move the motor forward and back for belt changing with ease. The depth setting mechanism, however, fell short in our tests. It received a grade of “fair.”

JessEm Mite-R Excel II Miter Gauge
The gauge has a quick and easy method for fitting the guide bar precisely to your tablesaw’s miter slot. This means the gauge can be recalibrated if necessary for continued accuracy. The face of the protractor head can be adjusted square to the table and also square to the guide bar. This ensures accurate cuts, and it, too, can be readjusted if the need arises. The protractor head has stainless-steel knobs and fittings and high-contrast, easy-to-read white numbers and increments.
DeWalt 735X Planer
At high speed, the planer works fast and leaves a smooth surface. But the slower, finish speed produces an almost glass-smooth surface. Knife changes are easy.
