Delta DP300 Shopmaster 12 inch Bench Top Drill Press Delta MORE INFO

Amazon.com Here's a benchtop tool that packs the power of the big boys. With 6 inches from bit center to column, you can drill with ease into the center of a foot-wide board with a 2-3/8-inch stroke and a chuck jaw capacity of 1/2 inch. The cast-iron table tilts left and right to 45 degrees with a positive stop at 0, and offers five drill speeds depending on your material and bit size. You don't even have to know what speed is the right one--there's a chart inside the pulley cover that dictates belt speed according to hole size and material. Changing speeds is as simple as adjusting the belt on the pulley. Have some repetitive drilling to do? The adjustable-position locking depth stop will take the trouble out of the job. Rack-and-pinion table depth adjustment makes raising and lowering the table no work at all, and here's a nice bonus you won't find standard on other models--a built-in tool tray. When you're done drilling, just pop out the removable safety switch to prevent unauthorized use. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste From the Manufacturer An excellent value for the small workshop, this eight-inch drill press has a 1/3 horsepower, industrial, induction motor for long-lasting, smooth performance.

The inside of the pulley cover has a convenient chart that not only recommends a speed based on the hole size and material,... read more
