Reliant DD90 Drill press
Reliant DD90 Drill press. Anybody got any poop on this drill press. It has
a 1hp motor and has four speeds and takes a 93" blade. Questions: What the slowest speed in fpm? Throat size and maximum cut? table size? Guides/fence? If the speed is too high for metal, is the motor arrangement suitable to an easy counter-shaft conversion? Any experiencewith making some reasonably accurate cuts in 2x5" aluminum extrusion? Spindle taper? Any manuals? Age? Any poop appreciated?

Reliant Band saw: was Reliant DD90 Drill press
It's a low end saw designed for woodworking. It won't have a
suitable speed range, and the wheels are designed for a variety of widths of bandsaw blades -- which won't track on metal like the fixed-width ones do. And you won't have a suitable vise. I wouldn't use this as a metal saw. Boris Beizer wrote: "Boris Beizer" wrote in message nk.net... I meant the band saw kind of drill press, of course. |

Well ... he can probably use it on aluminum, at least. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |
