Top 10 Algae Scrapers

5. Tooltech Industry MB13

The Tooltech Industry MB13 (about $1285) is designed to give you years of faithful service. To that end, the manufacturer opted for a lubricated aluminum head in place of sheet metal, and heat-treated steel gears, making it an investment that should last.

4. Wen 4210 Drill Press

You’ll need to buy a separate boring attachment, but once you do, you’ll likely find that the Wen 4210 Drill Press (around $176) can come in handy on all your woodworking projects. It even has a laser to help you determine where you’ll be drilling with pinpoint accuracy.

3. Tooltech Industry PB13

The Tooltech Industry PB13 (around $1485) is a pneumatic option that uses compressors for power. It manages to pack quite a punch without a lot of air behind it, as it can function admirably even at just 90 PSI, limiting the amount of pressure you need to do the job right.

2. CMT Universal

The CMT Universal (appx. $140) supports heads from a variety of manufacturers, making it an extremely versatile option, and the anti-rust parts are highly durable without requiring a ton of maintenance and upkeep. It’s a high-quality model that doesn’t come with a lot of headaches.

1. Grizzly G0642

The Grizzly G0642 (appx. $2700) boasts a 15-spindle head that’s capable of making short work of 32-mm cabinets, and the down-feed stroke indicator controls the exact depth, so you won’t accidentally find yourself boring a hole all the way through your next project.
