would this drillpress handle copper?

My dad said he might get one to have around the house, and I'm wondering if it would handle copper if I went in nice and slow. |

They tend to shake a lot when you get above 10mm diameter drill bits. Does work, but make sure you've bolted it down to a table nicely before hand

it shakes because the spindle speed is too high. Turn the speed down if you are using big drill bits

What Slater said and the spindle/chuck on mine is a little wobbly aswell. The bigger the bits the more effect the wobble has. These are not precision drill presses but they work fine.

I have this drill press albit a bit older. The drill chuck is a tapperd shank and doesn't always get in properly thus a bit of a shake or wobble..you can actually center it with a dial indicator and a hammer
