The Ridgid DP1550 Drill Press is quiet. That is the first thing you notice about this impressive machine. It has an impressive 15 inch capacity which will be suitable for a wide range of professional and DIY tasks. The drill is powered by a 1 / 2 horsepower motor (120v) and has a Poly-V drive belt which all but eliminates vibration and vastly improves power transfer allowing the operator to drill through the toughest of materials with ease.Chuck capacity of the Ridgid DP is 5/8” and comes with a chuck key, hex keys and wrench.
The Ridgid DP1550 can be accurately controlled thanks to the 12 speed options available while its heavy duty wide base and table provide the person operating the drill with the stability required when precision drilling. The table itself can also be tilted to different angles while the woodworking block contains mounting slots and extra large clamps. Overall this drill is a very versatile work station.
This is a great review of the Ridgid DP1550
Other nice features of the Ridgid DP1550 Drill Pressinclude a work light for better visibility while working with the drill and a large dust extraction unit. The drill also has a bevel and depth gauge built in and mounts on both sides of the drill mean the crank handle can be placed on either side for right or left handed operation. Assembly of the drill is very simple. The machine comes well packaged and the components can be put together in a just a few minutes. Due to its cast iron parts, it is easy to clean and maintain, however, this does mean that the drill weighs around 155 pounds once assembled. The on/off switches and the light switch are clearly visible on the front of the machine and the user friendly instruction manual means that novice users will be up and running in no time. The Ridgid DP1550 Drill Press is one great piece of powertool machinery!
