Tools and Hardware Reviews of Palmgren 80154 1/2 Horsepower 15-Inch Floor Drill Press
Customer Review: Great drill press, excellent customer support
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very happy with this drill press. I bought it to replace a Delta that drilled about 300 holes then died. ("Made in China...") I had to call Palmgren a couple times for help during assembly and each time I received a courteous response and accurate information.
Here are a couple assembly tips:
1: Have some mineral spirits already on hand so you don't have to make a special trip to the hardware store.
2: At least two people are required to safely install the head assembly on the post unless you have some kind of mechanical lifting device. You really will need help.
3: You'll have one part left over after assembly. It's the "drift key." It's supposed to be left over.
4: The instructions tell you to close the chuck and press it against a board to tighten the chuck and arbor in place. By "Close," Palmgren means to rotate the chuck so the claws that hold the drill bit are retracted inside the chuck. If you rotate the chuck so the claws themselves are closed, like I did, the chuck could end up mis-aligned. Mis-alignment causes vibration and the bit will not be perfectly vertical. That's obviously a big problem. It's extremely difficult to separate the chuck and arbor once they're tightened together, so make sure you do this correctly the first time! The instruction manual should make this step more clear.
This is a heavy duty drill press. It weighs a ton, and everything about it feels solid and well-built.
