Review:

Not much to say except that this drill press (bought used through eBay) have worked very well after the initial clean up and tuning. What I like about Delta tools is that spare parts can easily be found. I had to replace the power switch, besides that - no problems. It is compact, has 12"throat capacity and speed can be changed by changing position of the V-belt.

The drill press is a little top heavy, and I have bolted it to the bench for greater stability. When I bought it, it did not come with magnetic base lamp nor tool caddy. I have missed neither.

I also made my own drill table/fence (not shown).
