JET 12" JWDP-12 Drill Press
Are you working around the limits of a small drill press that struggles with thicker stock and accurate hole placement?
What if your benchtop drill press gave you steady power, clear speed control, and repeatable drilling depth for everyday shop work?
Meet the JET 12" JWDP-12 Drill Press, a compact variable speed benchtop machine built for accurate drilling in wood, metal, and shop fixtures.
With the 1/2 HP induction motor, over 3-1/8 inches of spindle travel, and JET’s XACTA laser alignment system, it delivers dependable performance in a small footprint.
When your drill press runs smoothly and holds its settings, drilling operations become faster, cleaner, and easier to repeat.
JET JWDP-12 for Accurate Benchtop Drilling Work
Mechanical Variable Speed Drive Simplifies Setup
The mechanical variable speed system allows you to change spindle speed quickly for different materials. You can slow down for metal or increase speed for clean wood drilling without complicated adjustments. This keeps your workflow moving and reduces setup time between operations.
XACTA Laser System Guides Hole Placement
The built-in XACTA laser projects clear cross lines onto the workpiece. This gives you a visible reference point before the bit touches the material. It helps improve hole placement when layout lines are difficult to see.
Digital Speed Readout Confirms Spindle RPM
The digital display shows the current spindle speed while the machine is running. You can confirm that the drill is set correctly for the material and bit size. This makes it easier to maintain proper cutting speeds for consistent results.
Retractable Roller Extension Supports Long Stock
The retractable roller extension provides support when drilling longer boards or workpieces. It allows the material to move smoothly across the table surface during positioning. When not needed, it retracts to keep the workspace clear.
