Tools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA 17-965 3/4 Horsepower 16-1/2-Inch Floor Drill Press
Customer Review: Delta 3/4 h.p. drill press
Summary: 4 Stars
I am well pleased with the Delta 3/4 h.p. drill press, the set up was very easy. The power this drill has is more than enough for any project I have under taken so far. Drill runs quiet at all speeds.Customer Review: Solid drill press with some well designed features
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this drill press for the money - the 3/4 horse motor is smooth, powerful and quiet. Depth stop has well done quick adjust/fine adjust mechanism, and there is a quill lock. Drill depth capability is well beyond average, controlled by beefy 3 handle arm with comfortable knobs. Plunge motion is smooth and precise, minimal runout. Easy and fast quick tension release on motor to change speeds. No issue with cover rattle on mine (make sure you have neoprene bushings at mounting locations between head and pulley housing, and adjust cover latch clip so its fits tight). With 16 speeds, 3/4 horses and 5/8" chuck, its all you need for a small shop.Customer Review: Nice bang for the buck
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched a lot of machines before buying the Delta. The features available on this DP, such as quill lock, threaded stop block and depth of travel could only be found on more expensive units. Mine runs true and quiet right out of the box, no need for duct tape...yet. Seems powerful enough for my woodworking needs. Plan on some assistance when attaching the head, she's a heavy bugger - but that's good, right?Customer Review: Good drill press. Belt cover is noisy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Tool worked great and takes some muscle to put together. Drill head is very heavy unit. Worked great for me right out of the box with no issues other than the belt cover vibrates and makes quite a bit of noise. I will find a way to fix it some time but doesn't affect operation.Customer Review: Satisfied with Delta Drill Press
Summary: 4 Stars
Delta Drill Press is all I expected. Performs well. Would have liked a retainer clip to hold chuck-tightner wrench to keep from misplacing it. Othewise, okay.
