Delta 17-968 Drill Press Question?
#5


Are they any good as I have an opportunity to buy one?
Pro’s … Con’s. Value used? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That was my first drill press, and I was very pleased with it. I used it for 15 years before I upgraded a few years ago.

Before buying, though, I would check to make sure everything runs/moves smooth and the runout on the spindle. If it all checks out it should be a good performer...

I went and checked the drill press out and it rattled and vibrated excessively so I pass on the deal. Thanks for your input Dave.

Probably a good call...
