Delta's marketing this drill press as one made finally for woodworkers instead of machinists, and it's welcome change. The changes in the table alone are worth trumpeting: It's 14 by 18 inches, has T-slots for a miter gauge, a removable insert and tilts 0 to 45 degrees forward - yes, forward -- and 0 to 90-degrees both left and right with detents at 0, 45 and 90-degrees. The forward-tilting table is quite a coup for woodworkers, offering so much more control and versatility, and even better, combined with the standard lateral tilt, now tricky compound drilling angles are a cinch. We love the T-slots, too, enabling the use of myriad shop-built jigs and sleds, stop blocks, fences and clamps. You'll just need 5/16-inch T-bolts to hold your jig in the slots. But the best table innovation, and the most eagerly awaited, we think, is the clampable perimeter. No more wrestling to find a spot for a C-clamp. Thank you, Delta!

Of course, most of the buzz around this drill press focuses on the crosshair lasers, admittedly very cool. Delta made these easy to calibrate and simple to use, and it's kind of addictive. Just a push of a button, and the crosshairs show exactly where the bit will contact on the workpiece. We think the lasers will be particularly useful when drilling into cylinders like PVC pipe or dowels and pilot holes in intricate scroll-saw patterns.

The quill travel is an outstanding 3-7/8 inches, plenty for pen turners to drill through half a blank. And the quill can be locked down to facilitate use of abrasive bits, another feature we really liked.

There's a nice speed range, but you have to change speeds the old-fashioned way, by adjusting the belt on the proper set of pulleys. It's an easy task. Other honorable mentions include the integrated work lamp that fully illuminates the table, and there's even a nice depth gauge on the spoked handle.

It's great to see a toolmaker respond to customers' needs like this. Hats off to Delta on this one.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
