Overview
At just under 40 kilograms and roughly 37 inches tall by the listed dimensions, the DP1263V is a benchtop drill press rather than a handheld drill. It runs on 120 volt corded power at 6.2 amps, with a listed top speed of 3100 RPM.
The weight and 22 by 14.5 by 37 inch footprint point to a stationary machine meant to sit on a bench or stand, not a handheld tool despite the title calling it a drill. Corded electric power at 120 volts and 6.2 amps is typical for a benchtop press of this size.
- 120 volt corded electric power
- 6.2 amp draw
- 3100 RPM listed top speed
- 39.92 kilogram listed weight
Who it's for
Fits a home workshop or garage with bench space for a stationary drill press that wants repeatable, straight holes. Not a fit for anyone expecting a handheld drill, since the weight and dimensions rule that out.
Pros and cons
- Stationary build adds stability for straight, repeatable holes
- Corded 120 volt power avoids battery limits
- 3100 RPM top speed listed
- Weight and footprint rule out portable use
- Included bits or chuck size are not listed
Performance notes
A listed 6.2 amp draw at 120 volts and a top speed of 3100 RPM are consistent with a variable speed benchtop press aimed at wood and light metal drilling. The nearly 40 kilogram weight adds stability at the base, which helps keep holes straight under load.
