Thread: Newbie question on rpms for drill press

Maybe redundant but do not wear a watch,no long sleeves,never leave the Key in the chuck

And don't forget the safety glasses. Small drill bits can break and washers can come flying off.

Glad to get the reminders. Like buckling up a safety belt. Usually, one doesn't crash, but even one crash can have dire consequences.

The problem with a lot of smaller tabletop drill presses is they don't tend to offer low speeds. I have the same issue with mine.

Now that's interesting. I would never have expected to see something like that on the FNAL site...

Ha yeah, apparently they do some practical stuff too
