 Great Machine June 28, 2008
My husband is extremely pleased with the drill press. All of the parts arrived safely and assembly was quite easy.

A well built drill press solid enough for accurate work.
The assembly manual states that unless the stand if fastened to the floor, an auxiliary stand of 3/4 plywood is necessary. I made mine about 6 inches to either side, and a couple of feet more in the front for convenience in standing. I put thin strips around part of the edge to slip a dolly under it in case I want to move it. Oh, and if you want to use 230 volts, you need to change the switch.
The laser sight is quite convenient, but the mounting system is not yet well developed. It is tricky to align. All in all, though, a good tool for the price.

I have been wanting a drill press for some time now and just making do without. But, now that I have the delta 17-959L I am really happy with the results. The extra long quil length has come in handy already. I thought the laser would be pretty useless. But, I was wrong take the time to set it up properly and it works really well.

I got this drill press about 2 months ago. So far it has been nothing but a pleasure to use. It has been a very worth while upgrade from my prior Delta bench top model. The assembly of the machine was relatively easy, although part of the table support appeared to be installed backwards within the packaging (it was easy to reverse the piece). Once assembeled the machine feel very sturdy and well built. The table is great and easy to adjust. While the machine does vibrate slightly when in operation, there is virtually no runnout on my unit at any speed. The laser is a nice feature but not altogether necessary. It took about 10 minutes to adjust it properly, but in practice I have not used it that much. Really the only trouble that I have had was trying to convince/bribe a friend to help me to put it together (definitely do not try to do this yourself). I would definitely recommend this purchase to others. Its a great unit that can be had a reasonable price (I managed to find one for $450 shipped).

I purchased this about a month ago and have been fairly satisfied with it. It was made in china, so the usual level of fit and finish should be expected. I had to debur the table and the upper pulley wheel is not drilled perfectly on center. (I brought it in for repair because there was a wobble in the shaft, but they couldn't find a problem and when I set it back up at home, I didn't notice a problem either.. must have just needed a breaking in.)
Other than that, it is a solid piece of machinery. It (now) drills smoothly and the almost 5 inches of travel is really nice. The lasers are setup in plastic mounts, so they aren't the easiest to get lined up, but they work. They produce a fairly thin line so it is simple to line things up for drilling. The wider flanges on the base make it very stable. The replaceable drill plates are nice also - this was definitely built with woodworkers in mind.
I was a little annoyed that it didn't work perfectly out of the box, but overall I am happy with my purchase.
