My husband is really enjoying it.
Marianna Raynor (verified owner) –
I don’t have many miles on this yet, but so far I love it. The only warning I have — it’s heavy so, unless you’re extremely strong, have a friend on hand to assemble it.
Samanta Rippin (verified owner) –
The instructions for aiming the laser have to be reversed for the right side. It takes 2 people to set it up but afterwards….this is an epic tool that will do everything *I* will ever use a drill press for!
Maye Stamm (verified owner) –
I researched and found that the Delta met and exceeded what I was looking for in a drill press. I have used it several times since I purchased it and it is the best drill press I have ever owned. It’s a bargain for the quality that has been built into the drill. Ease of use is excellent as well. I recommend this drill press if your in the market for a drill press.

Delta continues to produce quality equipment at a competitive price.i feel that it’s a far better value than some of the new high tech versions of multi speed drill presses
Pansy Maggio (verified owner) –
Just what I was looking for. Easy to assemble.
Porter Balistreri (verified owner) –
shipping box – heavy, (260+ ls.) but if the plastic banding is not cut off, 2 people can easily load into pickup.Assembly fairly easy. You will either need a hoist or 2 strong people with to lift head & motor at least 5 feet in the air to slide onto shaft. I chose a come-a-long and a beam.Works like a champ. large table, stable, powerful. works better than advertised.Dislikes: Price could be lower…. look for sales. Chuck key holder a bit cheap, look for a better one.Overall – – – 5 stars !!
Nya Thiel (verified owner) –
its really heavy. two big strong people working off of a platform would have been better. Both of us were to old to be doing this. also we’re over 6’ I still had to stand on a tool box to lift the cast iron part of the headstock.we will see if its worth the price. looks like it will last to pass
Murl Fay (verified owner) –
easy to assemble but definitely need 2 people. Seems like a quality made product so far but won’t know for sure until i get to really put it through some workouts

This drill press is of good quality and has all the bells and whistles one could ask for. Home Depot’s customer service is the best that there is, no other competition comes close in my opinion.

The drill has more runout than it should have.

This is the third floor model drill press that I’ve purchased over the years. I still own the first two, and inexpensive import that I purchased many years ago and a 16″ Jet that I purchased about 15 years ago. This Delta is by far a much better built machine. The table is large and very stable. It has increased quill travel, (6″) is much longer than most others. All of the parts (handles…) are well made. Assembly was fairly easy. It’s quite heavy. I managed to assemble it by myself, however, it would be much easier with a second person. I’ve had it for about a month and used it a few times, but compared to my others it definitely stands out as a superior piece of equipment.

I’ve had this tool for a few years now, I’m pretty happy with it in most respects. It is the first DP I have ever owned so no point of reference but it has the typical bells and whistles, I have never been unable to to anything a drill press should be able to do with it. It was easy to put together and didn’t take long to get going with it, it is versatile and easy set up exactly how you need it to be for the job at hand. The one complaint I have is about the quality of the steel used for the table, maybe it is partly about its placement in my shop (close to the bay door and farthest from the heat source) but I have given up trying to keep the table top in nice and smooth condition – there are large spots of decomposition. Could have something to do with the chemicals I used to try to keep it from rusting (I probably experimented and used different solutions on different machines) but I think I have generally taken care of it about the same as I have the other machines with steely tables and don’t have this problem with them. I will be replacing it with an aftermarket table, probably made of mdf I guess, so there is an easy and inexpensive workaround.

This drill press is excellent. First thing I did was mount it to the concrete floor. Then I was off drilling 2-3/4″ holes in hard maple like it was butter in a compound angle of about 12.5 deg.

Drill press arrived very fast and in good shape.

this is not a bumgarner40…?results for ‘bumgarner search’ and the ‘Delta light’ is brought up
Josiane Schuster (verified owner) –
Easy to assemble, two people would make it easier.Adustments for the laser were fast and easy.
Trevor Gerhold (verified owner) –
It was missing 1 metric set screwThe mounting plate for the stop was quite crookedI machined it flat now it works as it shouldSo far it works very well

I have owned a Delta drill press for 25 years and been pleased with its performance. (It is still running strong in the home shop of a relative.) Given that the company has changed ownership several times I was concerned that this new model would not live up to the standards of the past. Now that I have it set up in my shop, I believe that it does: I take heart that the company is now again based in the United States; this model is heavier, thereby enhancing stability, has a slightly deeper throat, and a larger, better designed table. Assembly was not difficult, and the instructions were clear. The laser light was easy to adjust and is a welcome feature as is the included LED work light. Setting drilling depth is also easier than on the old unit. Heavier than most home shop drill presses, the 18-900L has a professional look and feel that I believe make it an excellent value in its price range.

Once set up, it’s a joy to work with. It’s solid and easy to adjust. I used a hoist to raise the head onto the column because the head weighs roughly 100 pounds and lifting such over my head stopped decades ago. The alternative would have been to assemble it with the column horizontal, the tip the whole thing upright. For me, same problem. Hoisting the head over the vertical column and lowering it worked better for me.Re the “Good” rather than “Excellent” quality, I would actually rate it 98 out of 100. The connector for the work light is flimsy and is not attached to the wire at all, let alone securely. My first career was as an electrical engineer, so no big deal, but it’s one of the places where “Made in China” shows. Another is the table tilt pointer. It requires separate assembly and looks like a toy. In operation, the belt noise sounds cheap, but the tool works perfectly.Unless you have a pickup truck and a good, strong friend, pay the $55 to have it delivered to your home or shop. The 265 pound box is too large to fit in any car I’ve ever owned.In sum, I got my money’s worth.
