What we liked
- + 5 belt-change speeds from 750 to 3200 RPM cover wood bits and slower metal drilling
- + Cast iron construction with a 6.5 by 6.5 inch table that bevels 45 degrees each way
- + Compact 23 inch height and 7 by 11 inch base fit a small garage bench
Trade-offs
- - 8 inch swing and 2 inch spindle travel limit the size and depth of work
- - Speed changes mean moving the belt by hand, which is slower than a dial
