waxman home | projects | blog 20 posts in 218 days 212 days ago	Topic tags/keywords: vintage delta drill press mortise question I recently was the lucky recipient of a Delta drill press DP 220 (see my work shop photo). It came with several chisel mortising attachments; the problem is I have not used this setup before. Does anyone out there have any info on this vintage drill press? I did find a diagram on the web of the attachments but nothing on the accessory setup and use. Any help from my woodworking buddies would be most appreciative. Lee
