DRILL PRESS IS SOLD
This is a recently completed rebuild – it is a Delta DP-600 17” floor model drill press from the early 1950’s. It came to me with a serial number of 105-1580 which puts it as a 1952 build. It has been completely disassembled, cleaned and painted. The drive system is a Wagner Electric 1/2 HP 3 Phase 1140 RPM 230/460 volt motor. The asking price includes a VFD that requires 220 single phase input. It has low speed 5 step pulleys that generate speeds, measured by optical tachometer, of 1525. 1000, 640, 425, 267. With the VFD you will have theoretically infinite speed ranges but from a practical sense there is a limit. The VFD is currently mounted to the machine – but the new owner should choose their desired mounting configuration. I can demonstrate the drill press running. The VFD programming guide and parameters document is included.
I have replaced the two quill bearings and the two spindle pulley bearings. I also replaced the drive belt. The spindle has a Jacobs Stub Spindle taper nose and a Jacobs 6A 33 chuck is included with a 0 to ½ capacity. Run out measured on the spindle nose is .001”. Also included is the standard Delta depth stop assembly and quill return spring mechanism. Quill stroke is 5”.
This machine has a table raiser. The production table rotates and tilts – positive tilt stops at 90, -45 and +45 degrees are available. The table can be locked in place at any position between the positive stops. The table has a minor arc of shame but all holes have been filled – they are not invisible but will provide a smooth working surface and will not collect debris. There are table, quill and head locks included.. The base and column are both in good condition. The power cord and plug are also new.
I am looking to get $795 for the drill press – this machine is a step above the run of the mill drill presses available today but is priced competitively with them. More importantly, the asking price is more of a reflection of how much has been invested to bring it back to life. As always, I am willing to entertain offers. To keep things in perspective – take a look at the current prices of imported 17” machines before you walk away. Feel free to ask for more information or pictures. Thanks for looking.
