Dear All,
I picked up my new Delta 17-925 drill press on Monday and I must say it is
quite a machine. I got tired of running up against the 3" stroke of my
little 12" drill press so I bought one with a 6" stroke. It also has VS
which is nice, goes from 150 rpm to 3200 RPM.
I have played with it, using some big ass bits that would always stall the
1/3 HP of the 12" unit, that the 3/4 HP on the new unit spin no problem.

I like my new drill press.
Thanks,
David.
Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him.

Looks just like mine. Great, isn't it? I discovered a new dimension in
heavy hardware getting that thing up in the air.

That's what I did with mine. It still took my beefy neighbor's help to
do it.

WOW David, you went from a bench top to that. That's like going from a
Yugo to a cadillac.
Could you have laid the drill press on it's side, put the head on and
then set it upright?

Arrg!
Where the hell were you two smart guys last night when I was trying to lift
half a drill press head that weighs more than me up a ladder!
I cannot believe I didn't think of the oh so obvious solution, DOH!
I will keep it in mind for next time.
:).
Thanks,
David.
