Tools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA DP300L 12-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill Press

Customer Review: 'nother four
Summary: 4 Stars

I'd give this press a 4.5 if possible. I've found with a bit of work I can coax it in to doing almost anything I need in woodworking. I've done very precise cabinet work (which is why I got it), without issue. The laser sometimes needs to be reset, so always plan for setup time. The depth stop, and the manual belt change are the only issues with design I can think of. Both work, but could be better. Mine came out of the box and into production without problem or broken and missing parts.

To really make this a nice press you will want to look for a tabletop. I recommend either the woodpecker or woodcraft, since they are made by the same outfit and basically the same for the same price. I looked hard at the Grizzly top, which is 1/3 of the price of the woodcraft, but the woodcraft will last forever and the Griz will give you a pain every time you try to do a setup. For $60 more bucks, woodcraft. After I added my tabletop I discovered that the elevation crank the raised the drill table now could not turn without removing the larger table. I fixed that with a retrofit of an angled crank from a different model. Denver is fortunate to have a Dewalt repair shop and we trolled the catalog until we found a match. I did that rather than get a new drill, but if you are thinking you might want to added the larger table, I would look at one of the newer Delta models that come with the angled crank.

Oh, and this thing is really rather heavy. Don't plan for much portability.
