Delta Drill Press 17-925 & 17-990x problems
New Tools, Accessories & Tips from Circle Saw Builder's Supply
Recently we have discovered a problem on some of the Delta Drill Press 17-925 & 17-990x. If you check out this link

it will show a drawing on these drill presses. Make sure you have 3/4" of quill #78 extending below the bracket #76 that attached to the depth stop. #80 is a retaining nut that holds the #85 spindle assembly. After enough use with the bracket set to low it will loosen the nuts that holds the spindle assy in and the next thing you know the spindle is sitting on the table.
This is not a Good thing.
