IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE DP IN A VERTICLE POSITION, TRY MOUNTING IT ON
ITS SIDE AND USE IT AS A HORZ. BOREING MACHINE.
DIFFICULT BUT CAN BE DONE. DID THIS YEARS AGO. I HAVE 6 DP'S ALL GET
USED

GOOD LUCK

I bought a Delta benchtop drill press a couple of years ago,
thinking it would be one of the most used machines in my workshop. I
bought it to make mortises, drill shelf pin holes, holes for inset
hinges, etc. But, two years later, I find I rarely even plug it in.
All the things I bought it for, I tend to use my cordless drill for
instead, or use different materials or techniques that don't require
the drill press.

It took me years to finally purchase a drill press, so I don't
really want to get rid of it. But I'm curious what other people do
with their drill press to get more use out of them?

Ideas please...

Thanks,

Anthony
