Old Delta milwauke drill press - Smashedfinger - 06-20-2019 I found this old Delta drill press on the local craigslist. It's a model DP-220. I guess they made a gillion of these in their time. I'm going to take it apart and run through it. I suspect by the way it's built, it's going to be a winner. I always wanted a second drill press. I paid $50.00 for it RE: Old Delta milwauke drill press - Phil Thien - 06-20-2019 Yep split head dats a goodun. RE: Old Delta milwauke drill press - stav - 06-21-2019 For $50 you really scored. Nice. RE: Old Delta milwauke drill press - EvilTwin - 06-21-2019 Doesn't need paint, no visible rust, no arc of shame. Winner RE: Old Delta milwauke drill press - Bob Vaughan - 06-21-2019 Its rare to find a DP-220 in that good of condition at any price. I had a bench model and changed it to a floor model. Got my bench space back and it didn't really intrude on the shop floor space. Put a DC motor on it and a keyless chuck. Its a sweet little utility press handy for all kinds of things. Get some popcorn and go over to OWWM.org and put DP220 in the search box. RE: Old Delta milwauke drill press - ®smpr_fi_mac® - 06-21-2019 Are you a member at www.owwm.org yet? If not, go join up.

Paid $90 for it, cleaned it up, built a table with a drawer for it and added a Jacobs chuck. Worked beautifully except for raising and lowering the table. Gave it to my stepson when we sold the home up north. RE: Old Delta milwauke drill press - Tapper - 06-21-2019 Nice find - congrats! Will look forward to the progress pics. Doug P.S. The folks over at OWWM.org are very nice and quite helpful. Wealth of knowledge there that is willing to be shared. |
