JET Drill Presses FAQs

What is the difference between a benchtop and a floorstanding JET drill press?

Benchtop models like the JET 15" JDP-15B mount on a workbench and work well in smaller shops. Floorstanding models like the JET 17" JDP-17 stand independently and generally offer more column height and spindle-to-base clearance for larger workpieces.

Which JET drill press is best for a small shop on a budget?

The JET 12" JWDP-12 is the most affordable option. It runs on variable speed, fits on a benchtop, and handles everyday wood and metal drilling tasks well. It is a solid starting point for shops with limited space or budget.

What makes the JET JDP-20S Smart Drill Press different from the other models?

The JET 20" JDP-20S is the only model with a 5 in. touchscreen, digital variable speed control, and guided setup assistance. It also has the largest swing at 20 in. and a 1-1/2 HP motor. It is built for shops that drill frequently and want repeatable, precise results with less manual adjustment.

Can JET drill presses be used for both wood and metal drilling?

Yes. All JET drill presses in this collection accept standard drill bits for both wood and metal work. The 5/8 in. chuck on each model holds a wide range of bit sizes. For metal work, using the correct bit type and appropriate speed setting will give you the best results.
