I love the speed adjustment and the depth control. The position of the light and laser XY guide is very convenient. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice machine *by R***N on October 11, 2022* Easy to assemble and put together the led worklight and laser make it very accurate and easy to see the work piece ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very robust Drill Press *by C***H on November 11, 2024* This drill press is exactly as described. It arrived undamaged and was easy to assemble (be sure you have a helper to mount the drive head). When I started it, the machine vibrated and shook a bit. I saw a previous review that had the same problem so I checked the drive pulley on the center shaft and it appeared to have a slight wobble. I called Customer Service and immediately got a REAL person - no menu to go thru. Was connected immediately to Tech Support. When I told him the problem and that I wanted to take off the pulley and re-seat, it he said it was OK to do so - would not invalidate the warranty. It was not easy, but I got it off and re-seated the drive pulley. Then I noticed that the drive pulley and the motor drive pulley were misaligned by about 1/8". I drove the motor fully down to align it. After I re-assembled everything the machine runs smooth as butter. So far I really like the machine - it replaced one that I had for 20 years. And I cannot say enough good things about Rikon Customer Service and Tech Support! UPDATE: I lowered this to a 4 star rating because of the depth gauge stop adjustment. My old drill press had a quick release to move the stop quickly to a location then you would turn it to fine adjust the depth setting. The one on this drill press does not have that ability, so it is a real pain to make adjustments. quickly. The nut (or both nuts) have to be manually screwed up and down to the location. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rikon 12 inch Variable Speed Drill Press - RIKON Power Tools 10-3061 10" Deluxe Bandsaw - WEN 6524 Oscillating Belt and Spindle Sander --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/95614370-rikon-12-inch-variable-speed-drill-press](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/95614370-rikon-12-inch-variable-speed-drill-press) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
