Shop Fox W1668 13-Inch Bench-Top Drill
This Shop Fox drill press is a compact bench-top drill cleverly built with efficiency and the ability to handle multiple aspects of your project. Featuring an oscillating sander that can be used for contour sanding, an incorporated clearance hole in the table, and a dust collection port to keep your space clean, this bench top drill press is more than just a drill.
That being said, drilling is, of course, this Shop Fox product’s primary function. This machine is huge for a benchtop model and makes an excellent drill for bigger projects. It offers a ¾ HP, 110-Volt motor with 12-speed options between 250 and 3050 RPM. The 5/8 inch drill chuck makes for more drilling options as well.
You can tackle a variety of drill-based jobs on the W1668. This benchtop drill press boasts a ¾ inch steel drilling capacity and a swing of 13 ¼ inches. The table can tilt 90 degrees left and right, and you can easily adjust it for height. You can even remove it altogether so that you can accommodate larger pieces of wood or whatever material you’re working with.
Now, for the sanding. The Shop Fox drill press’s sanding capabilities are quite impressive. The dust collection and clearance hole mentioned above help with sanding, but they’re far from the most important features. The W1668 can be converted into a sander within seconds with only a few tool-free steps. The 3-piece oscillating spindle sander drum is designed to reduce heat build-up during sanding, so it leaves you with a smooth finish. Not bad for a drill!
