Does the job, but...

"I bought this drill press from Amazon. Some time ago I bought into Amazon Prime for free, two-day shipping, and Amazon;s web page for this item says that it is eligible under that plan. However, it is so heavy that it had to be shipped by motor freight (ABF, in my case). It was still free shipping, but it took a week to get here. It arrived a couple of days ago and I just completed assembling it. My initial vi..." Read Full Review »

Poor tool at any price

"This drill press represents the worst in mainland Chinese manufacturing. Delta is squandering their good name with products like this. The casting are rough throughout. The pulleys are unbalanced, the drive belts are stiff. The idler pully shaft and the shafts used as part of the belt tensioning system ride in holes drilled in the head casting. No bushings are used and the play can be measured in fractions ..." Read Full Review »

Nice drill press

★★★★☆
4.0

"I purchased this about a month ago and have been fairly satisfied with it. It was made in china, so the usual level of fit and finish should be expected. I had to debur the table and the upper pulley wheel is not drilled perfectly on center. (I brought it in for repair because there was a wobble in …"  Read Full Review »

Great Drill Press

★★★★★

"I got this drill press about 2 months ago. So far it has been nothing but a pleasure to use. It has been a very worth while upgrade from my prior Delta bench top model. The assembly of the machine was relatively easy, although part of the table support appeared to be installed backwards within th …"  Read Full Review »

A good solid drill press

★★★★☆

"A well built drill press solid enough for accurate work.



The assembly manual states that unless the stand if fastened to the floor, an auxiliary stand of 3/4 plywood is necessary. I made mine about 6 inches to either side, and a couple of feet more in the front for convenience in standing. I put t …"  Read Full Review »
