Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fisch Precision Tools DP2000 1/3 Horsepower 12-Inch Bench Drill Press
Customer Review: Average Tool Overall
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this tool-the first time- in generally good condition, although the plastic switch housing was cracked and required a large wad of duct tape to hold it safely in place. Emails to Fisch went unanswered as did an off hours phone message. When I finally did contact them, the person said it would be "months" before the replacement part would arrive. Ok I can live with that..
After several weeks I tried to adjust the free play in the stop collar by tightening the adjustment bolt. After a turn or so I heard a cracking sound and found that the stop collar casting had cracked.
I contacted Amazon and they replaced the entire tool within a few days. The replacement tool came in a box damaged to an extraordinary degree; even the styrofoam packing was shredded. Remarkably, the tool was in good condition; I switched out the defective components, repacked the defective parts into the shredded box-with ample use of the remaining "popcorn", plus liberal use of duct tape and then started the UPS tag game. After a week of abortive shipping attempts by Amazon/UPS, I drove the 91 lb package to the UPS Store and it was gone.
This tool is still generally a good product and also a solid looking tool.I measured runout on the drill shaft at +/- .001"....not bad for a $189.00 product.
Unfortunately, the quality issues lead me to suspect it may not have the longevity I look for when I make a major tool purchase, hence the 3 star rating.
