Posted on May 8, 2023 by

Updated Skil 6.2 Amp Drill Press Offers More Power and Drilling Accuracy

For serious woodworkers who demand precision, there's really no better choice than a drill press, which offers greater stability than a standard handheld drill. Skil is revamping their range of bench tools and today we've got to work with their updated 6.2 Amp drill press. We're breaking down the main functionality so you can decide if it's a good fit for your arsenal.
