I am hoping Santa will bring me a new drill press for Christmas. I really like the Powermatic but at a savings of over $300 I think the Delta will do nicely. . What do you think?
Thanks friends, just the sort of opinion input I'm looking for. I am currently using a 16 speed Central Machinery drill press. The Griz. looks very similar. I'm ready for top of the line luxury with no regrets. I really like the duel LED lighting, keyless chuck and no belt changes speed control included with the Powermatic. Also the Delta does not come with the fence. Santa is going to think I'm a spoiled demanding brat but I will ask for the Powermatic or NOTHING. :-D
Personally I would seriously rethink your idea of a "keyless" chuck on a stand alone drill press... A keyless chuck on a hand drill is the cats meow but myself I would go with the tried and true chuck with a key to tighten the bits securely into the chuck............. Other then that everything else your looking for it great on a drill press.................Hope Santa brings what you want and then some.......................Gary
