Is this something you could use in your shop?
Yes I could! You still got my address? 2 day shipping works for me!
Haha, its 3 day shipping bro.......👊👊👊
Yo TRZ! I've actually been eyeballing that one. It's on the list! Nice review brother and I hope your having a great Saturday my man!!
@@ToolReviewZone lol!
@@amoscardoza5253 lol it's called home Depot check out or check direct Tools
Doesn't matter if the laser isn't visible as the drill approaches the surface. The X marks the spot, not the drill bit. If you want to callibrate the laser use a very small drill bit and make a touch hole on the surface, lift the bit up and the X should be in the center or else adjust it.
3:09 he said “these nuts” - Appreciate the review
Excellent, I was looking for an entry level drill press format while and this review helped me decide on one.
Good review. Good camera work. Nice pace of review as I dont like reviews that are slow to make their way through the info I'm looking for. I like it that you have a sense of humor in the review, not too goofy just enough to liven things up a bit.
Tha is for the awesome comment youtubey
Very helpful for this first time Drill Press user. Thanks!
Excellent review, thank you so much for such a concise but indepth discussion. You cemented my decision to buy this 😊
Thanks for sharing your review. I just got this press for a couple of projects and I am already very impressed with it. Will actually put it to a metal test today. Almost forgot the WD40, thanks for reminder 👍
Thanks I'm looking for a drill press to drill through .125 steel and your video was enlightening.
I have another ryobi power tool that I am happy with. Thanks!!
Thank you for this review. It is very helpful!
I Like a lot of the features of the Ryobi. I also was looking at the WEN 10inch. And I like a lot about that drill press. I think I will go with the WEN but I am glad you reviewed the Ryobi because that was another drill press I was considering. Great review 👍
Tha is for the feedback John!!!!
Very informative, thank you 👍
Thank you, this was a very, very helful video!!
nice review
great review thanks i am going to build a blanket ladder as a very beginner at woodworking i think this will do better than my handheld with a forstner bit, i assume the forstner bit will stop at 3/4 of an inch deep as i am using 1 inch dowel for the ladder thanks again
I mainly liked it because a review picture I saw showed it's actually 6A motor, not 3A. So the sticker and the box (now that I bought one I can confirm) both say 6A. Very interesting, it would be cool to see if someone with electrical testing tools could verify.
Would you happen to have a review on the 12" version?
You can also get a double slide small vise and mount it to the plate and now you have a clamping force
I mounted a 2 axis cross slide vice to the bottom of the plate, so I can just flip it 180 and have either the cross slide (can use it to mill soft materials) or the plate.
Great review! Thanks for going through all the specs for everyone. 1 question though. Did someone tell you you were pronouncing Ryobi wrong? I was just noticing how you over pronounced it quite a few times and it got me chuckling.
This toolie just ordered……don’t need it often but when I do it will come in handy…..been getting by with shop jigs on a hand drill but just f’ed up a project with a crooked hole, was able to to cover up and redo but who wants to go through that when you can grip a refurb one of these for 99 bucks.
Recently bought this. Was apprehensive about it as I'm a Ridgid fanboy. But it really is a great drill press. Not the absolute best or most powerful, but it certainly does the job. I had the same issue with the lid, very dirty. I took it off, cleaned it up and spray painted it orange. Looks and works great.
Awesome 👊
Ridgid fanboy sprays ryobi drill orange too funny
@@Thomas998822 I laughed at this lol 😂👍
Ridgid, Ryobi, Milwaukee, all TTI junk.
I commented above that I have a twelve year old model of this drill press and it is still running with original parts. So it seems durable enough for home workshop usage. Ryobi, Rigid, and Milwaukee are kind of like General Motors brands of Buick, Pontiac, and Cadillac. They basically segmented the market, cost engineered to those segments, and branded the tools accordingly.
Real new to woodworking. What is the big pro to this versus a stand power drill with a long drill bit?
Couldn’t you deploy your Mik-wak-a-iA M18 work light for better lighting ? Also how the true zero on it out of the box ? Any adjustments needed?
I have an earlier model of that drill press and l like the improvements Ryobi made to it. The depth gauge and adjustment is much more intuitive, the side opening top is better than the front to back openings top, and yours has chuck key storage! The hone on my table looks better than yours, but it has an X pattern for mounting holes that makes front to back adjustments a PITA. So far so good on the tool's build quality as it's still working well with all the original parts after twelve years. Funny story, the laser batteries burned out after maybe five years and I never bothered to learn how to change them. Just recently I was tensioning the belt and spotted the batteries and changed them out of a sense of obligation.
Love the real nice like 👍 was nice my friend
What do you recommend for a dust/weather proof cover?
I smeeshed that like button👉🏽👍🏽 any wobble on the chuck?
Thanks Jason!!! Thay was one of the first thing I looked for and it was great. No wobble at all bro👊
Great, now I can get one.👌🏽👍🏽🤟🏽
A few well-intentioned comments.
1. A major area for comparative review would be the run-out of the spindle/chuck. A dial indicator reading would fit the need. Really good drill presses have almost no run out and poorly built ones can be in the tenths of an inch. This will greatly impact not only the run-out of a high quality drill bit but more importantly the final clearance size of the drilled (bored) hole. When you use a 1/8” bit and end up with a 5/32” hole, it could very well be caused by excessive spindle run-out. Excessive run-out will also create vibration and noise.
2. We should always use new or newly sharpened bits for each individual test boring, especially when comparing or assessing the performance with the drilling of metals. I couldn’t help but question whether the performance through metal was a test of the drill bit itself, or a test of the drill press with a certain amount of pressure applied to the handle. And if we are trying to test the drill press itself, shouldn’t a known repetitive pressure be used?
3. And to something someone else touched on, the laser crosshairs are designed to aid in pre-positioning of the target hole mark, rather than providing an intersection up to the point of contact with the drill bit. Center punch the target mark and line it up with the laser cross-hairs. Clamp the work, turn the press on and do a brief spinning touch mark to check the accuracy of the laser cross-hairs and the clamped position of the test stock. Make notes, or readjust to meet acceptable tolerances and fully drill your hole. The drilled hole can then be measured with a dial caliper for comparison to the drill bit size used.
The short of all this is simply to insure that what you are reviewing or testing and commenting on is actually responsible for the results being presented. I.e., you can’ t blame the drill press if you have a worn or poorly machined drill bit that has excessive run-out. And sometimes a well built drill press may just have been fitted out with a low-quality spindle/chuck to keep the price down. Change out the chuck and spindle and now you have a smooth, quiet and efficient drill press. I realize that in the price range you are presenting, most buyers are not looking to spend another $100 to replace a spindle and chuck but checking the run-out can identify where these lower priced presses jeopardize your finished work.
for the laser, its more for when you mark your spot them drill
How far down does the base drop down to?
Can you shed some light on how to change the belt speed cause there is no way in hell I'm gonna move the motor to loosen belt.
Nice table top drill press wish it was what I needed I need a free standing drill press
Yeah I like those.you could however put this on a stand
@@ToolReviewZone I need it free standing it will be outside I need a very heavy unit so wind won't knock it over even this with a stand isn't heavy enough to withstand 60 or more mph winds
@@AntonioClaudioMichael got it bro 👊
Does the chuck not require a set screw?
Good review........However, 2 things: 1) Why didn't you take the 30-40 seconds to lower the bit speed when drilling in steel? Too high of a speed and the bit burns up. 2) WD-40 is NOT a cutting fluid. It has a wax in it that burns off when cutting in steel and does not protect the bit from the heat produced during drilling. WD-40 is used by some machinists when working with aluminum because the wax produces a nice polished finish.
Good review, very good camera work; HOWEVER, I have one peeve ( and I also read several comments with the same problem); there are NO assembly instructions, just prints of how each particular piece looks like when attached to it's proper location on the press; the worst was the gear rack and it's respective base and column collar's; that gear rack MUST be inserted from the top of the column collar downwards, arrow etched on the gear rack facing upwards; there is a GEAR inside the table adjuster which (when assembling) will NOT let you push the gear rack upwards NOR
permit the table adjuster to travel down (maybe if I had installed the table adjustment handle it probably would work). The other point is the 3 electrical switches on the unit needed some coverage; overall NOT BAD, your camera work is far better than many who propose to show what you managed in a few minutes, thanks Michael C.
I just went to CZcams and watched a video.
Hey! I am thinking of getting one of these drill presses. Could you tell me the distance between the center of the drill bit and the edge of the pole that holds up the drill press?
"Swing"
YO TRZ brother I want your professional opinion which one of these drill presses would be best. The Ryobi or the 8 in. 5 speed benchtop drill press from Harbor Freight. The Harbor Freight one is on sale with a super coupon right now for $54.99 and it has a built-in light. I have been wanting to get a drill press. Peace brother
I haven't tried the Harbor Freight, but that's one heck of a price bro. Even if it doesn't work, your not out mush $$$
I'd like to upgrade / increase the height of this Ryobi DP103L drill press. Given that I'll need a longer Pillar and Rack, what options do Ryobi drill press owners have in making this about a third higher?
I'm curious if anyone here in the community has experimented using another pillar, rack, and possibly table bracket assembly combo from another brand? It seems like it would be possible IF the newer and longer pillar matched the same diameter as that of the original Ryobi pillar
I would answers but idk . But hey I not only write I read too lol. Sorry no responses
So why not show how you adjust the pulley?
Do you think the plastic pulley could be replaced with a metal one?
Yeah, but after 4 years my plastic one is just fine 👍
Ok but does it have a cup holder?
Mine cuts holes in 1/4 steel flat bar no issues.
Every single review I've seen on a drill press with a laser crosshair complains about the same thing. When the drill bit gets close to the work piece, it blocks the beams.
I don't see why this is a problem. Once you've verified that the lasers are accurate, why is it important that they be visible all the way through the drilling process?
Line up the crosshair where you want the hole and DON'T MOVE THE WORK PIECE. Clamp it down; use a drill press table, fence, and stop block; or just hold it tightly in place.
The only other way to solve this would be to position the lasers way off to the side, which will get in the way otherwise.
Until they invent transparent steel drill bits, that's just the way it's going to be.
Two things about this Ryobi drill press in particular:
1. Some of the early ones had that same plastic pulley. From the one I saw at Home Depot recently, they've fixed that.
2. But they haven't fixed the plastic ring that holds the depth stop. I've seen complaints about how fragile it is. And it was broken on the floor model at my local Home Depot. That unit was probably a return - because that piece broke.
Now that you've had the drill press for 4 months, is it holding up? Do you still like it?
Thanks for the great review. 👍
🤔 No response, huh?
Agreed man, I do the same thing, use the laser to get your workpiece in place, clamp it down and go for it!
You speak way too much common sense for CZcams.
At first the plastic lid seemed cheap to me, then I was at a friends house who had a harbor freight drill press and man that tin lid made some noise! Maybe the plastic isn't so bad? This one from Ryobi sure is quieter than his or the Wen another friend has.
until you place a forsner or paddle bit and the motor stalls out, Needs more HP. This is only a 1/4 HP not enough! I have one and wish i had gotten the larger motor. Other than that i love this relatively inexpensive drill press.
Opinion: I own close to 20 Ryobi tools and have been 100% satisfied with them for several years. When it came to the 10" drill press I finally said no to Ryobi and bought the Wen 10". It is everything the Ryobi is and a bit more. And $110 vs $169 for the Ryobi made it a no-brainer.
Can't argue that. Thanks for the feedback
@r2d23678 - I have not tried one inch yet.
MACHINERY
I really want to see how this stacks up against the 90 dollar WEN drill press from Amazon
I may just need to do that Bobby 👊
Tool Review Zone that would be awesome, thanks for the reply. Have a great day brother!👍🏾
@@themaker4216 you got it brother 👊👊👊
It doesn't, trust me. I've had both and the WEN is better by far.
You need to compare apples to apples. The $90 WEN is an 8" so will be under powered comparing it to the Ryobi. I have the 8" WEN and will stack it up against any low dollar 8" drill for fit and finish. Go slowly with the drill feed and it will do the job for you.
You missed the opportunity to test the accuracy of the the Chuck by drilling a hole through the centre and the length of a four inch long, half inch diameter rod and seeing if the hole was in the centre at both ends of the rod. I have had an AEG portable electronic variable speed drill in a drill press for around 40 years. I cannot understand why they keep building drill presses with belts and pulleys when it is just as simple to build a variable speed controller for the electric motor.
Its cheaper
The belt and the pulley multiply the motor torque, which means they can use a smaller, cheaper motor.
When you reduce the speed of a motor you reduce the power. A drill press runs full power all the time. Like when you use a variable speed hand drill, you can easily make it rotate very slow but lose all your power. (I don't know if power is the right word, torque maybe? But you get the idea)
I have one myself and for the past 2 years and I love mine But I bought mines at home depot for $179 I don't know if it's the same price or they dropped . Awesome video 2 thumbs up!!!
Thanks for the comment, feedback and the like Queen B!
I have this unit and it's functional but I'm underwhelmed. The depth stop bracket snapped along the plastic seam on my very first use. No warranty coverage and parts distribution is located in the US, $6 part and $35 USD for shipping so over $50 Cdn. The table cannot be secured as you pointed out and the depth travel was disappointing. It's functional for most projects but I see a better quality unit in my future and this being donated to the local school. I wouldn't purchase it again knowing what I know now.
I don't need this, but I want it. No place to put it, no need for it that I'm aware of, but I want it anyway. In the meantime I'll just pretend I have a drill press when I'm playing around with my Dremel workstation.
I do wish you had lowered the speed and done some thicker steel.
I have this drill press, does absolutely fine with steel. Although I have the Australian model and with our 50hz supply, the lowest speed is 510rpm which helps with the bigger bits in steel etc, but your model also has about 500rpm higher top end speed than ours too.
How much is it?
why wouldn't you just mark the center of the lasers with a marker? :|
Hey my Brother awesome Review and a super nice RYOBI 10" Drill Press,If is good for metal and wood I'm all in to buy one to Bro,Hey my good Brother were is my Shout-out I'm coming back soon,I was out of CZcams for 11 months Bro my wife in Son was in a 4 car accident and my Wife is till doing Therapy,But I have a lot of videos coming up ok much love and I will see you again later :)
Yo bro, I'm really sorry to hear that TJ. I hope they are doing ok buddy, and I can't wait to see your new vids
@@ToolReviewZone Thank You, Hey you are the Man Yeaaaaa Boyyyyyy much love later :)
Yo TRZ!!
AMOS!
Why did I try to blow the dust off on the screen @ 2:14
The lazer on my Ryobi Drill Press works just fine, I can see it just fine. X Mark's the spot on the material I'm working on. I use it every time I use the tool. Yours is miscalibrated.
Aw jeez, yinz gwotta be from Pikksburgh. Gwotta g'dahntahn ta hear dem accents n'at.
I cannot loosen the belt enough to adjust the speed.
There should be a tension level that you can adjust the.....well.....tension. the best shouldn't be that tight even when it's running.
steel has a cutting formula so if you use 10mm its 10/9000
My three complaints about this drill press (based on 2 years of ownership). 1. two inches of throw is insufficient; 2. the depth stop screws get jiggled loose through vibrations (fatal!), 3. The table. Everything about the table is unfortunate. Adjusting vertically, adjusting laterally, tilting, clamping. I've gotten decent use out of this drill press but I fell like I've now outgrown it and need to look at higher tier products.
@Dcvbkyrsscbgdsxcgf Dude the WEN is cheaper and better by far. So it seems a better product CAN be made for the same or less money. There's NO excuse for this Ryobi garbage. None. It's just so bad.
Locktite everything on these machines! If it can vibrate loose it will vibrate loose.
Agreed 👊
Will stick with my Delta
Really. I own Delta-Rockwell, Atlas, and Walker-Turner presses. That thing was a sad toy.
Here in Canada is $195.00
Yeah, a bit cheaper here in the US Gary
@@ToolReviewZone comes out to 139 USD after exchange
Cobalt bits and 610-900 rpm work well on thick and hardened metal, don't waist your time with hss bits when working on hard steel.
Using proper cutting oil instead of WD40 would also help when drilling into metal…
Please convert to the metric system
Looks pretty cool but no holes to bolt it to a bench.
I have owned many ryobi tools. But this drill press looks extremely cheap. I am looking for a new drill press. But as soon as I seen the plastic motor pulley set. I really was a very poor choice on Ryobi. Not for me!
It seems to be fibre reinforced plastic, and mine has been going for 4 years, no sign of issues.
You didn't check the run out???
First
Haha, that was quick Armando👊👊👊
Ree-o-bee
Ryobi has one… but Dewalt does not
WD-40 isn't for cutting metal.
original chuck died after approximately a dozen uses; too much of a hassle to deal with retailer, so replaced with keyless. Otherwise a useful hobbyist tool.
The tool should be dirtied by the buyer / owner not the manufacturer dirty finger prints of a tool that is in the box brothers me as well
entry level only. The table is very flimsy. For very light metal work or wood only. Very loose tolerances.
You get what you pay for.
@@harrygatto only most of the time with imported quality issues. And just about everything is imported these days.
5:45 WD40 is a lubricant not a cutting fluid (you unintentionally wearing down your bits)
Well considering we are on lockdown, maybe you could run up to the store and get me some?
Any fluid is going to help cool it a bit. I'm not really sold on the whole cutting fluid thing. Since I know how to sharpen drill bits, I often don't use any at all just to save on the cleanup, and it doesn't make a ton of difference as long as your bit is sharp and your rpm and feed pressure are good. If cutting fluid isn't a lubricant what do you think it is? What is it actually doing?
@@chrishoesing5455 how to sharpen bits?
@@Thomas998822 what are you asking?
Most short duration drilling or machining of mild steel is done without cutting tool coolant. If your bit is sharp it should cut and the operation will be over before before any heat goes into the bit. Heat in the bit degrades the bit and changes it’s mechanical properties, which will cause it to become weaker and wear out faster which will in turn dull the blade faster and make even more heat. All you need is a sharp bit with the right HSS/Carbide material to drill mild steel.
Plastic? Really? Walking away from this one... How long is a plastic drive pulley really going to last?!
To bad it doesn't drill deeper 2" is a joke it litterly with only work for a 2x4
What do you mean? Just drop the table and use a longer bit.
@@ToolReviewZone let's say I want to drill holes right through a 4x4 post, sure I could use a long bit and just use the table but would be nice to get it done in one shot helps keep things precise
@@davejames2015 let’s say you had another $200 on top of the $120 this one costs and just go buy a bigger drill press? Can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Too much runout
Being a Ryoby, it is surprising the very rough casting quality. I own a chinese drill press with thicker table and better finish for even less money. No deal
This drill press is total garbage. The table wobbles side to side several inches. The hand screw that tightens it does not work and stripped from hand tightening. On top of that, the entire base is so crooked it won't even register on my level. RYOBI is garbage.
