Live drill press listings, benchmarked
Every price below is compared against what similar drill presses are actually asking right now, so a low number means low against the market — not against a seller's claim.
What to check on a used drill press
- Chuck a drill bit and check runout. Excessive wobble usually means a worn chuck or a damaged taper.
- Raise and lower the table; a seized rack is common on neglected machines.
- Listen at each speed for bearing noise and check the belts for cracking.
- Confirm the quill returns smoothly and the depth stop holds.
Common questions
How much should a used drill press cost?
Benchtop presses are the volume market and stay affordable; floor-standing machines and older American-made presses sit higher. DealBench benchmarks each listing against comparable live listings instead of a fixed price guide.
Is a used drill press a good buy?
Generally one of the safest used tool buys — the wear items are belts, bearings and the chuck, all replaceable at modest cost.
