Description of DELTA 17-965 3/4 Horsepower 16-1/2-Inch Floor Drill Press
If your projects require you to drill with big bits or if you find yourself attempting to drill with precision under questionable circumstances, this heavy-duty 16-1/2-inch drill press from Delta will help you get out of your, um, hole. Running off a 3/4-horsepower motor that can be wired for either 115 or 230 volts, it gives you an impressive deep plunge length of 4-7/8 inches and holds up to 5/8-inch-diameter bits. Solid cast-iron construction and a 3-1/8-inch column give it the industrial feel and durability we look for in this type of tool. You'll enjoy the rotating work base--which bevels, of course, 45 degrees each way for drilling angles--as well as the depth stop that can be set quickly and easily with microadjustments and a locking mechanism, great for repetitive drilling. While other models sometimes place hard-to-read speed and belt charts under the top cap, Delta uses a wide, clearly legible chart to explain how to configure the belts for each of 16 speeds (215 to 2,720 rpm). And, thanks to the smooth, cool-running induction motor inside, you're not likely to find yourself shopping for a drill press again for an extremely long time. --Justin PaulTools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA 17-965 3/4 Horsepower 16-1/2-Inch Floor Drill Press
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.
