Dear All,

I picked up my new Delta 17-925 drill press on Monday and I must say it is
quite a machine. I got tired of running up against the 3" stroke of my
little 12" drill press so I bought one with a 6" stroke. It also has VS
which is nice, goes from 150 rpm to 3200 RPM.

I have played with it, using some big ass bits that would always stall the
1/3 HP of the 12" unit, that the 3/4 HP on the new unit spin no problem.

Geez. Control yourself, will you? You've got drool all over the camera lens.

Looks just like mine. Great, isn't it? I discovered a new dimension in
heavy hardware getting that thing up in the air.

WOW David, you went from a bench top to that. That's like going from a
Yugo to a cadillac.
Could you have laid the drill press on it's side, put the head on and
then set it upright?

That's what I did with mine. It still took my beefy neighbor's help to
do it.

Dear Leon,

The biggest problem was lifting the head on. I am 6' and my friend who
helped me about 5'5", the two of us had to stand on ladders to lift the head
up there, and it weighs over 150# just by itself.

I must finish off my new bandsaw, 17" of resaw with a 3hp motor, now that is
a bandsaw...

Thanks,

David.

Everning Guys,

Arrg!

Where the hell were you two smart guys last night when I was trying to lift
half a drill press head that weighs more than me up a ladder!

I cannot believe I didn't think of the oh so obvious solution, DOH!

I will keep it in mind for next time.

.

Thanks,

David.
