I was going through the reviews looking for some on the Steel City drill press and only found one. The same tool distributer I was talking about the other day that is dropping Steel City has a 17” Steel City drill press. The average cost of one is $550. He has some left that he only wants $300 for. While I know $300 for ANY decent drill press is a good deal, has anyone had one long enough to say if they are very happy with theirs or not ? Pro’s – Con’s ?

Thanks

You haven’t bought it yet ? You’ll be sorry if you don’t jump on that deal. On stuff like that theres no time to screw around. That drill press even off sale is hard to beat.

I was fortunate to find one that was 3 month old and the owner had to sell fast and I can’t say enough about it. The easy of change speed, lowering and adjusting the table is all straight forward. But most of all having a real heavy duty press has made life a lot smoother in the shop. Couple with a nice set of forstner bit this drill press rocks. I found this deal on Craigslist at 150.00 and I couldn’t get home fast enough. I build a table top which you could view in my project under Blackcherry projects and view the press as well. Hope this help Don, good luck Blkcherry
