Solid piece of equipment except for the stock chuck

BybigMooseon August 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

You will be pleased with this drill press. It comes in a large, heavy cardboard box with adequate molded styrofoam inserts. For taking it down to the shop open the carton and take all the pieces parts down separately. The head is much more manageable if you remove the motor first.

Pros: I found the double tilt table exceedingly useful. Never had one before and it came perfectly aligned. Fit and finish were acceptable/good. The "old" made in USA castings had a finer grind surface, but this table was acceptable. The motor was smooth and silent. The belt drive system was also smooth, balanced and silent. The LED light is bright and the gooseneck is stiff (like it should be) and stays where you point it. The on/off switch is large and placed well. The base casting was a little light where the column mated to it. I would inspect yours for cracks (as one gent received one that was pre cracked and his press fell) If I were designing it, there would be a few web reinforcements for that flange. Mine was OK, and assembled easily. Threads were aligned and tapped to specifications.

Cons: The chuck is not good. I measured a runout of around 0.0045. I found it unusable and replaced it with Grizzly G8583 Keyless Drill Chuck, 5/8-Inch that had a runout of 0.0006. Clearly we were now back in the ball game. Be prepared to ditch the stock chuck unless you are very lucky. The arbor was pretty good with less than 0.0003 runout.

Cons: The epoxy/anaerobic compound used to mount the Laser Modules in the swivel housing was blobbed on the trunnions of the laser module. Both my laser modules were frozen upon receipt. This was easily fixed by removing them from the press (there are electrical connectors similar to the LED light) and manipulating the cartridge on the bench with a fine screwdriver to break the compound bond. I then cleaned up the trunnions and reassembled. The laser feature is "interesting" but for perfect accuracy you will still use your eye and a center punch.

All in all I was pleased with this purchase. It's a solid piece of equipment with the only major deficiency I see as the chuck.

Delta 18-900L Drill Press - you can by more powerful but not better than this for woodworking

ByR. Gillespieon November 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a great drill press! I've looked at DP's for a long time comparing features & benefits and it all boiled down to this one. I was really wanting a DP that had electronic variable speed control but as quick as one comes on the market they are discontinued because of technical difficulties. So, speed control via interchangeable belts is the way to go on all 17 - 18 inch DP's. Delta has a very slick way of quickly changing the belt speeds along with a quill lock that I like, made a significant difference in which DP to pick. It's not as powerful (only 3/4 HP) as a Grizzly, Porter Cable, Jet, etc. but for my woodworking and ocassional metal drilling, its great. The large table was another factor in my choice. I don't have time to fabricate a melamine table and accessorize one and the size and functionality of the Delta's was very good. The included bright LED work light is very modern and will give me more service life than the incandescent bulb type of yesterday's generation work lights. Plus the incandescent bulbs will get more expensive and scarce over time so I chose to switch now. After calibrating the laser indicator by the easy to follow instructions, the "X" marks the spot where the drill bit will touch down on the table is very handy. This item comes in 4 major pieces - the drill head, the column, the base and the table. It's very heavy and unless you rig up a cheap harbor freight chain hoist like I did to lift the head up on the column you will need help. This comes in two very well packed heavy boxes on a pallet and unless you have help, you will need lift gate service. I had mine fork lifted into my 6x10 trailer and borrowed a HF pallet jack from one of my friends to get it off the trailer an into my garage. I'm glad I bought this DP and am finding new uses for it every day.

A Big Step Up

ByGardeneron February 22, 2012

I bought this machine to replace a much-used ca. 1995 Delta floor-model drill press. The motor on that machine died, and I passed it on to a friend. For those of you out there who still have drill presses of that generation, and are thinking about an upgrade, I predict you will be very pleased with the 18-900L. Here are some of the strong points vs. the old Delta machine (with its famously undersized table):

- Zero runout. After suffering for years with a wobbly situation on my previous drill press, this is truly welcome.
- FAR less noise and vibration in operation.
- A vastly superior table, with the very welcome forward tilt option. I highly recommend the Biesmeyer fence, which offers safety, accuracy, and repeatability for many common operations. T-slot hold-downs, another basic safety item, can now be readily accommodated as well. For fine metalwork, the table easily accepts my cross-vise and its mounting bolts.
- The depth stop mechanism is a big improvement over the old twist-collar design. The threaded stops don't look all that sophisticated, but in practice they are very quick and easy to adjust precisely.
- Though I was a bit skeptical, the laser is actually handy in certain situations.

Assembly is easy, though installing the very heavy head/motor assembly on the upright shaft would involve a tricky lift requiring at least two strong people. I got around this by assembling the base and shaft, sliding on the head while everything was still horizontal on the floor, then gently tipping the entire unit upright. This went smoothly with two helpers.

This is a next-generation product that represents a real step forward over the frustratingly imperfect machines we all grew up with.

... with the Delta 18-900L Drill Press because of the good reviews on it as opposed to the more expensive ...

Bycoolreedon January 28, 2016

I went with the Delta 18-900L Drill Press because of the good reviews on it as opposed to the more expensive Powermatic, which had some bad reviews. The Delta18-900L uses an old school belt drive but it works flawlessly and changes speeds easily. The LED light along with the dual lazer make the Drill Press very easy to use. The Drill Press Table is large and rotates 90 degrees if needed. The Drill Press depth adjustment is awesome and it has a long quill travel of up to six inches. I am very happy with this Drill Press.
