Best Value Pick From Fine Woodworking! (2010-04-17)

This Grizzly model earned excellent reviews all around, making it Fine Woodworking's choice for Best Value! With great drilling power and an ease in speed change, the only significant downfall being difficulty and inaccuracy in depth setting. Another great feature? The levers on the motor move forward and back to allow for easy belt changing. Its 12 speed range and $225 price tag makes for a great pick!
