Price range: See on Amazon
What we liked
- + 12 inch swing and 3-1/8 inch travel handle larger and thicker stock
- + 5/8 inch chuck takes bigger bits than the 1/2 inch chucks on the smaller presses
- + Includes laser, overhead light, depth stop and a table roller extension
Trade-offs
- - About 85 pounds and 36.6 inches tall, so it needs a dedicated, strong bench
- - Costs more than twice as much as the entry-level 8 inch presses
