Shop Fox is a known name for a wide range of drill presses and other power tools. So, if you are already familiar with the Shop Fox brand name and want to buy a drill press, please check Shop Fox W1668 drill press, which is a great bench-top drill press. It uses 3/4-hp motor, has impressive features too. This drill press has 1725 RPM drilling speed and the spindle speeds range from 250-rpm to 3050-rpm. Other important features are 3.25-inch spindle travel, 5/8-inch drill chuck, and comes with 3 pieces of spindle sander drum kit with mandrel and 80 grit sanding paper to fit the 1, 1.5 and 2 inches drums.

Of course, it is a well-built unit because it is from the popular Shop Fox and most customers have confirmed that it was a well-built unit. Apart from being a well-built unit, it is quite easy to install, and delivers the best drilling performance. Therefore, you are going to receive the best value for money. Also, it is a decent drill press in my view because it has many speeds, so it is great and flexible to achieve the accurate drilling goal. However, it is a bit noise but it is not a big problem as per most users. Some users complained about the poor packaging of this product too. Most of the parts are made of cast-iron material, so it is a solid drill press.
