If you crave the power of a big floor model but have little storage space, the JDP-12 is for you. This drill press features a compact benchtop design that won't clutter up your shop and can be easily transported to different locations.
The 11.5 x 16.5-inch cast iron base also fits neatly on work benches with limited space, giving you more flexibility while on a job site. At the same time, the stable base design allows for easy re-positioning on the work bench.
1/3 HP Motor and Variable Speed Drive System for Versatility
Powered by a heavy-duty 1/3 HP induction motor, the JDP-12 can tackle various drilling applications. It also boasts a mechanical variable speed drive system for fast and easy speed changes and an industrial 5/8-inch drill chuck for flexibility and versatility.
XACTA Laser System and Linear Scale for Accuracy
The JDP-12 comes equipped with the innovative XACTA laser system, which works by using an easy-to-see X-shaped laser to guide you as you drill, thereby ensuring accurate results. For improved consistency, there's also a clear linear scale with depth stop.
Oversized Ergonomic Knobs
For safe, secure operation, the JDP-12 gives you easy access to the controls you need while working. In fact, the oversized, ergonomic knobs are extremely user friendly, helping you avoid errors caused by a slippery grip and preventing you from wasting time hunting for hard-to-see buttons or switches. Instead, these easy-to-see, stable knobs provide you with maximum control at every stage in your job.
Digital Readout and LED Work Light for Precision
With the help of several advanced features, the JDP-12 simplifies the drilling process for better quality results. First, a digital readout displays the spindle speed for various drilling applications. There's also a built-in LED work light to increase visibility--especially important for intricate applications or while working in dim conditions.
Retractable Roller Extension and Paddle Switch for Stability and Safety
The retractable roller extension provides support and quick work piece adjustment to help ensure your workspace is always stable and secure. At the same time, a large paddle switch provides easy shut off and lockout protection to help prevent accidents or errors.
The JDP-12 is backed by a three-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press with Digital Readout
Customer Review: Jet JDP-12 12" Drill Press
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price, this is a very high quality drill press. For my use it is perfect. I really like the safety feature of the chuck key which prevents one from accidentally leaving the chuck key in the chuck. It has a spring loaded tip that requires you to keep an inward pressure on the key while tightening or loosening the chuck. As soon as you no longer apply inward pressure on the key, it pushes it self out of the chuck keeping it in your hand. Very nice safety feature.
Another nice feature is the 'on/off" switch is located on the front of the drill press and to turn it on, you pull it towards you, thus if something should go haywire (like not securing the drilled object down and it gets away from you), you can shut the drill press down with your forehead. Hopefully one would not get themselves in this type of situation, but sometimes even the best of us makes an error, and your head is the closes thing to the switch. The laser light is nice as is the work light. A nice feature of the laser light is that it is powered by internal circuitry (not battery powered), so if you forget and leave the laser light on, you don,t have a battery to replace.
Another nice feature is being able to change drilling speeds with out having to change the belt location on the pulley. There is a handle on the left side that you push or pull to change the speed while the drill press is running and a digital display above the "on/off" switch that shows the RPM. Like I said in the beginning that for the price, this is an outstanding quality product.
