Ryobi - Ryobi DP121L Benchtop Drill Press
The Ryobi DP121L benchtop drill press features a crosshair laser, variable speed, digital speed readout, and a work light
Jul 01, 2007
Ryobi’s model 21914 benchtop drill press features a crosshair laser to point out where the bit meets the board. It also includes a scale ring on the pull-down arm shaft, and a depth-set mechanism in the form of a large winglike handle that turns and locks in smoothly. This makes it especially easy to zero the bit out on the workpiece surface and set the drilling depths precisely. It includes variable speed that lets you change speed effortlessly by turning an arm while the motor is running. The Ryobi also comes with a work light.

While all five of the smaller units will collect chips efficiently when deployed properly, the 3/4-hp Rockler was just a bit more powerful in our suction test.
Grizzly G0495X Industrial Helical Cutterhead 8-in. Jointer
Regardless of the board’s grain, this jointer produced excellent results. Its fence was totally flat, worked smoothly, and locked well, staying in place even after jointing multiple edges. Getting the fence to 90° was very easy, but the 90° stop was a little tricky to set and the fence did not go back to square when using it. For those who would use it, there is also a digital depth-of-cut scale.
