The Shop Fox M1102 benchtop drill press features a large base and a work light
Jul 01, 2007
The Shop Fox model M1102 benchtop drill press features the largest base of the machines we tested. It includes a work light and the mechanism for setting depth is good. This drill received a “good” rating for ease of changing speeds using the M1102’s manual pulley system.

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.
Ridgid R4331 Planer
Priced nearly $300 less than the DeWalt 735X, the Ridgid R4331 is an excellent value. Its three-knife cutterhead left wonderfully clean surfaces on plainsawn white oak and white pine. It did not perform nearly as well on curly maple as the 735X.
Freud Super Dado Saw Blade Set 8" x 5/8" Bore
Leaves a dado with a flat bottom and even performs excellent on plywood and melamine.
