Adding a new tool to the shop is always exciting, and in this video I’m replacing my old drill press with the JET JDP-15B. I unbox, assemble and test this beautiful beast in my two-car garage shop. Hopefully you’ll find this video to be helpful if you’ve got your eyes on this tool. Special shout out to my wife for being my camera operator! She’s always wanting to help me any way she can and she did an awesome job :)

Thank you so much. I bought this press to replace an old delta varispeed 12". Man this thing is big! My bench is 32" high and this press was to high to use comfortably. So I built a rolling stand with 3 drawers 20" inches tall not counting the casters under it and this is just Perfect. Just like this video. I will say that you need help to move this thing as it is super heavy and I mean HEAVY! And very awkward to handle. A person could easily hurt themselves. So if you buy one of these beware and ask for HELP! This is the nicest tool now in my shop next to the jet table saw. I love the chuck. Never have I seen a press with this nice of a chuck. Thank you again Seth!!

I like your style. No nonsense, no ego, high quality!

[philm]

Thx u very much. It's easy to mount the base and the column on the floor. I did it my wire wasn't home.

Nice review of the features.This is a whole lot better than going through all the manuals since I just picked one up as well. Thanks for posting.

Great video, saved my time, really appreciate your work, keep it up!👍👍

[woodbycolin]

They packed a lot of cool features into that machine. I particularly liked the depth adjustments and stops. And the lasers. That spindle lock for the sanding drum was a nice surprise. I clamped up something special when I needed that feature on my vintage drill press. Another nice edit, Seth!

[Marrio]

Hi nice thorough video. Question please. What is that knocking sound when you initially turned it on? I had a little older JET floor model that sounded smooth as glass. If you aren't sure what I am talking about review your video and listen for yourself. Thanks once again

[lesjensen]

Would you recommend this drill press for light metal work?

[stetson]

Awesome vid Man!! Thank You, I just ordered this Press to replace a very worn out dp250 delta with variable speed. Now the motor of the dp250 will power my old band saw. Your video saves other people time and frustration and it is a blessing for sure Thank you again!!

hello from France 🇨🇵

I am just about ready to upgrade also and this is the drill press I was looking at. I appreciate this video very much. It made my final decision easy. Thanks so much for sharing,

Like the others, I appreciate the video. You cover all the aspects that prospective buyers are looking for and can't find online at stores, or the Jet site. I'm just trying to decide if I want to spend the extra $90 for the floor model. I commented further down the page about you moving the head sideways to deal with long stock. Does the column have anything to align the head back straight, or do you have to eyeball it?

I've had nothing but issues from a grizzly industrial product. My wife and I drove over 5 hours, and spent over $1200 at the Grizzly showroom in Missouri. Honestly the showroom is amazing. The product I got...not so much. I've had over 10 separate issues including defective, and back ordered parts sent to me. Grizzly did offer me $100 to keep the pos 😂😂😂. I like high quality tools, and won't hesitate to spend the money on them. Powermatic, Jet, SCM, felder, festool, saw stop etc. I like decent hand tools such as snap on, Milwaukee, dewalt, and I even think husky is decent due to being able to swap tools easily when they break one the job. We even have some harbor freight tools that I think are very very good. My experience with grizzly has been unsatisfactory at best. Not to mention they will not post my review on their actual website. Hopefully my review will help someone looking for equipment.

Thanks for this great video, Seth! I just set up the Jet 15"" floor model and your video was invaluable in helping me figure out how to do it. The included instructions are passable, but there's nothing like seeing it done. The Jet website is no help and all of the other videos on YouTube are just reviews. Really appreciate your time and effort in making this video. Did you pitch the crooked bit?

[benchmarcdesigns]

Great video man...just got my Jet put together and love it....was bigger than I thought and mounted it to a dewalt 7350 rolling base....perfect height and mobile

[wabio]

Question. Can the main motor unit rotate on the column by loosening some fastener if needed?

[MondoRockable]

What are your thoughts on the sound it made? Are there any rattling sounds or any 'thud-thud-thud' resonating type of sounds? I ask as I bought a cheap Grizzly that sounds like a freight train and am thinking of returning it and spending a bit more on a quality machine. Cheers.

[gtjr]

Great video… anyone have problems with the 3/4 HP motor? Is it underpowered ? That’s my only concern. Any help would be much appreciated

[mikebailes]

Hi Seth, you said on the video that you would talk about replacing the table insert. I didn't hear you address that so, when and with what would you replace it? Thank you!

[arcarioandsons]

Now be honest.... The first time you fired it up did you forget something? Cuz it didn't sound right but then when you drilled your first piece it sounded silent and perfect! Great video thanks for making it!
