I like everything about this drill press so far. I compared several other models in the same class of drill press and this Bucktools 12" stood out as the best for the money. It assembled easily with very few issues. I had no problems with the chuck or the table assembly.
One of the main reasons I bought this drill press was the combination of a more powerful motor combined with its' ability to run at a slower RPM (I rarely cut wood). I'm pretty happy with the variable speeds but I would gladly give up a few hundred RPM's on top to slow the spindle down an additional 3-400 RPM's.
The quill stroke is adequate but a 4" stroke would be better.
The worklight illuminates the area nicely and is positioned well. I think the laser sight is a little gimmicky and I rarely use it but other folks might like it. The laser works fine after a little position adjustment but I need precisely positioned holes most of the time so I usually rely on a center punch and a center drill to locate my holes.
Overall, I found it difficult to find a drill press that had all the features I wanted but the Bucktools 12" press came the closest and it came with a great price. I have several Bucktool sanders and they have given me exceptional service over the years so that made my decision easier too. This drill press represents a really good value in a powerful variable speed drill press.

does a great job just what i wanted

One of the best sander I ever used

Everything arrived well packaged in good condition. Setup was a breeze and using it is very intuitive. Build quality seems to be excellent and performance is outstanding! Definitely would buy again!

The dust collector works great and is comparable to other brands of its size. The hose connection size is a bit odd but adapters are provided for connecting to 4 inch hose. I have a 5 inch hose to my collector fan so I had to modify one connector to accept the 5 inch hose by building up the collectors diameter by using tape. I also installed a foam seal in the can lid to make a better seal and added handles for convenience to carry a full can. Does the job I need it to.

It shipped fast got it the day they said it was going to arrive easy set up well packed in the box so far it has been the tool I needed

Works well, great addition to my dust collection system.

I love the Bucktool 2600! I've requested before for a larger motor. That is the only thing it needs!! A one horse motor with that direct drive!!! Now we are talking about being able to move metal. I know the 3x36 is available but I already have the 2x42 belts so I'm waiting on that one horse to come out. Until then happy knife making with a pair of 2x42 BG2600! Get you one, you'll like it!!

Shipped quickly, Easy to assemble, works perfectly. Every shop should have one. For the price, this should be your choice.

This Buck Tool belt and disc sander seems to be very well constructed and heavy duty. I can't wait to use it in my garage. Satisfied

Great tool super fast shipping. I have used it quite a few times and it has not disappointed I am glad I went with the 8” over the 6” disc worth the extra for that option.

BG2600 2" x 42" Belt Sander & 6" Bench Grinder Combo

works as expected

I hooked this up to a harbor freight 1hp dust collector and ran a 4” to 2 1/2” splitter on the intake for my 2 cnc’s, I can run them both at the same time and collect the dust! The cyclone showed up on a timely manner very well packaged so there was no damage. I recomend this to anyone that has machines that create sawdust

Great machine. Runs smooth and quiet. Heavy duty steel base. Designed well. I give it an A
