Genesis GDP1005A Top Drill Press
The Genesis GDP1005A Top Drill Press is another highly affordable option included in our reviews. This benchtop drill press is primarily built to take on smaller drilling jobs, but it handles them admirably. Genesis may still be a relatively new manufacturer in a fairly crowded market, but they make up for their greenness by putting out great little machines.
This drill press offers an adjustable 5-speed belt-driven spindle that can run between 620 and 3070 RPM. It also comes equipped with a durable 2/5 horse power induction motor to give you as much torque as you need for small jobs.
The 2 inches of spindle travel and adjustable stop positions make it easy to create precise, efficient, repeatable holes. The drill’s 7-1/4″ x 7-1/4 cast iron table rotates 45 degrees left or right. The 10-inch swing mean that this tool is best for working on smaller-scale jobs that come up around your home. The table is also built to be compatible with Genesis branded 4 and 5-inch vises to offer increased stability.
