This is a 6" stroke drill press generally sold into the woodworking
industry but sometimes seen in metalworking shops, this the CC to that
group.

Will, as always pay a small fee for the simple info.

I've got the 20520 model. I like it. What would you like to know?


Do you like it? ;-)

I'm also looking at drill presses (have to finish the "shop" first).
The 20525 was more interesting to me but I've looked at the 20520 (I
think they're the same other than the 20525 is variable speed) at
Woodcraft. Right now the PowerMatic is my first choice with the SC or
Griz somewhat behind.

A few things I noticed: The castings looked a little "rough", but
that's just looks. They also talk about it the casting being split,
so adjustable. IME, things that are adjustable always need it. I
*do* like the 6" travel, though.
