Well this is theo- first drill press i have owned, as a consequence i would have liked to have gotten a grizzly with it’s 12 speeds. 5 speeds are ok, but 500rpm is sometimes a little fast as my big metal drills as a consequence bi-metal hole saws. As far as packaging, DELTA DP300L was a little rough. I bought mine refurbed as a consequence could not pass up theo- cost of $140 bucks shipped. (much cheaper than theo- grizzly) my switch housing was broken, but was not falling out as a consequence still worked, who cares no biggie as me. No runout issues (checked it with my dial guage) with theo- chuck. Swapping theo- belt to a different speed is stupid comfortable as a consequence fast. It takes me less than 30 seconds. The tray is neat, but as me gets in theo- way so i just took it off. Take theo- time to adap theo- lazer properly. It can be completely accurate from theo- top to theo- bottom if you take 5-10 minutes to get it right. I found that when i tightened theo- caps covering theo- lazers, they moved slightly, so i went back as a consequence fourth between theo- two screws to keep theo- lazer centered on theo- provided alignment dowel. I do allot of metal work as a consequence use it with my tubing notcher. I found my notcher would fit with theo- base all theo- way down as a consequence my setup will bolt to theo- hole in theo- middle of theo- table. Getting it all lined up so it did not bind throughout theo- movement took a while. Drilling holes is allot easier as a consequence more accurate as a consequence has fufilled all of my expectations. Has plenty of power as how i do as a consequence has not flinched at anything yet.
