Tools and Hardware Reviews of Palmgren 80154 1/2 Horsepower 15-Inch Floor Drill Press
Customer Review: not sure what to think
Summary: 2 Stars
June 3rd, - I orded this drill press on May 26th after much thought and searching. I read others reviews and went to different places to look at floor drill presses. I got the free shipping which also helped being that shipping is $150. The shippment was fast took around 7 days and had a holiday in there. From the outside the box looked fine. When I opened the box and started to unpack found the head with the pully cover had a HUGE dent in it. So bad the door couldn't even open. I emailed and called Amazon. On the phone they told me that this item was to big and handled by a special dept. They would be in touch. The email came back and said saw you talked to someone glad issue was resolved.
The packing is poor on this item considering it weighs 250 lbs. It is in a cardboard box with styrofoam fill in. One good bump and you have problems. The finish on this item was poorer then I expected. There was a lot of scratches down to the metal. This may of been form the poor shipping. The spindle handle appears to be kinda cheap to me, Was hoping for better. I did not put the item together so I can't tell you much more. All I know is I am out my $400 and have a drill press that I can't even use. It has been over 24 hours and still no one from the special dept has been in touch. Amazom does not seem to be in much of a hurry to help me, was told on the phone it might take 3 days or more b4 I might hear something. So at this point I'm not sure what to think. If I were you I would keep looking. Will let you know more as it happens.
June 14, - well it took 3 days for Amazon to get in touch, the said they had already shipped my replacement on June 6th. The shippment tracking shows Drill was suppose to arrive on the 15th that has now slipped to the 19th for some reason. Still no drill.
June 17, - got new press, inspected it and it was fine, Assembled the press it was easy and took little over an hour. I suggest that you have 2 people the head is heavy and hard to handle alone. Found the press to run very quite and smooth. Changing the speeds is very easy. Couldn't really measure the runout but everything seemed very tight and no play. The only low point is the tilting of the table. it only tilts 45 deg to left and right and you need a wrench to do this. I really dont need this but if you do I suggest the Delta it is much better in this respect. Over all I like the press It was a pain with the frist one being damaged in shippment but I would say worth the wait. If you are looking for a well built heavy duty drill press this is a good one. Hope this helps someone.
