More about DELTA DP300L 12-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill Press

The DELTA DP300L 12-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill Press is an easy to install and operate drill press though the instructions manuals had poor pictures. Once assembled, the drill so far seems to operate smoothly. Changing speeds is very easy. It starts out simply enough, with a six-inch distance between chuck center and column, letting you drill the center of a 12-inch board. The quill travel is a decent 2-3/8 inches, plenty for any drilling or sanding job.

There's a wide range of spindle speeds to use for whatever material you're drilling, be it wood, metal or plastic, from 620 rpm all the way up to 3,100 rpm, all accessed by slipping the belt onto the appropriate set of pulleys under the top cover. It's a nice, sturdy press that really doesn't need to be bolted down to your workbench but can be if you prefer. I am overall satisfied with the tool and would recommend it.
