All of the new drill presses feature an integrated LED worklight that helps illuminate your work.
Many drill presses offer multiple speed selections that require users to move belts to different combinations of pulley.
3 of the new models – the 15″ benchtop, 15″ and 17″ floor-standing – feature variable speed drives that don’t require pulley changes.
3 of the new Grizzly drill presses feature a Reeves drive that allow for variable speed adjustments by turning a lever.
The two variable speed floor-standing drill presses also have an additional pulley position for lower speed drilling.
The way a Reeves drive pully drive work, the adjustment lever changes the effective diameter of the pulleys, similar to how a CVT transmission works.
