- Here is a quick assembly and feature overview of this new Bauer 12 inch bench top drill press with laser targeting and variable / infinite speed adjustment.
Harbor Freight item number 58781
Would love to see a 17” or 20” version of this. Glad to see someone’s making a more affordable variable speed DP. Great review, thank you.
Thx for the review. It looks like the speed adjustment is a take on a CVT transmission concept that you see on many ATV quads, cars and mini bikes. It makes me want to forehead palm my head 🤦with a “Doh! why didn’t I think of that!” Lol
Now you can see how a CVT (Continuous Varible Transmission) works or at least the idea of it... Great video and nicely detailed, you have convinced me to purchase this drill press! Thank you!
Glad it helped! Yes, I didn't recognize that it was a CVT when I was making the video LOL But just like in a car, or in a side-by-side or UTV, snowmobile or four-wheeler. I haven't used this a ton, but it does work well every time I need it to. Really like the LED light and the easy adjustability 👍
I bought one when it was on sale also. I still need to open the box 😂 it’s nice finally seeing a video of it though
Good review! I have been waiting to see what folks think of this before making the purchase - your review helps. Thanks!
Nice thorough review! I just became aware of the 12" in and came upon your video (can't find any real video reviews out there) - this was very helpful in helping me decide to purchase - thanks!
Thank you for this helpful review! I have been excited to pick one of these up, and your review confirmed that it is a good choice. Super helpful.
The speed adjustment lever on mine is very stiff. Is this normal for everyone else? Otherwise I love it.
Thank you for review! Do you know how much quill travel ? I can’t find this information on manual and in the specs.
Great question! I had to measure it, it's only 3 1/8 in. And that's with all the stops backed off both ways
@@anesthesiadreamin thank you very much for your fast response! I tried to contact with HB customer service, product support, and my question surprised them. After 7 minutes of waiting they are told me that 3.2 inch.
As for me 3 inches not too much for $300 drill press, but better than 2 inch on most of inexpensive drills.
I decided to buy WEN 1412t since this one cost me (today) $270 (with 10% discount). All the best
How tall is it and how wide
Interesting that the HF website does not list those specifications. Usually they’re pretty good at listing all the measurements. Other than that the drill table is 9 1/2” square and it weighs 82lbs assembled, they don’t list any other specs. I’m kinda curious myself.
