Until you get into the so called production drill presses, there are
none made in the US today. Spindle locks are a thing of the past,
found mostly on older US made units, seems to be ignored on imports.
Standard stroke for a floor model used to be 5", now it's 3". Sorry


The Delta 16 1/2" (not the Shop Master version, the "Industrial"
version) has a stroke very near 5" and a spindle lock. One of the few,
which is why I bought it.
