Last up is the new drill press ! I am very happy with this beast. It is a Rockwell/Delta 17-600 - vintage 1972. Came from Carver Mass as well. This is the king of drill presses ! It is variable speed - so all you do is turn the speed handle. No belt/pulley changing required ! It has a massive 1-HP motor, and the column must be 4" in diameter. The table is rock solid and you can move the collars and rack anywhere on the column. It is in excellent condition (no "extra" bubba holes drilled in the table) and only needed minor adjustments.
