...Looking for some detailed measurements based on a PDF I can send

This is a 6" stroke drill press generally sold into the woodworking
industry but sometimes seen in metalworking shops, this the CC to that
group.

Will, as always pay a small fee for the simple info.

I've got the 20520 model. I like it. What would you like to know?

Do you like it? ;-)

I'm also looking at drill presses (have to finish the "shop" first).
The 20525 was more interesting to me but I've looked at the 20520 (I
think they're the same other than the 20525 is variable speed) at
Woodcraft. Right now the PowerMatic is my first choice with the SC or
Griz somewhat behind.

A few things I noticed: The castings looked a little "rough", but
that's just looks. They also talk about it the casting being split,
so adjustable. IME, things that are adjustable always need it. I
*do* like the 6" travel, though.

I've seen some Steel City stuff at a few of the woodworking shows. Because the
company was started by some ex-Delta employees (at least that's what I've
heard) and I'm a fan of Delta equipment, I was anxious to check out their
merchandise, but I gotta tell you I was more than a bit underwhelmed. I
expected the general fit and finish to be *better* than Delta, not worse.
Other than cursory inspections at woodworking shows and local dealers, my only
real experience with their machines is my buddy's model 25200 bench mortiser
(which is sitting in my shop right now), and I would *not* recommend it.
