Great for it's designed purpose..
The unibit is fantastic for putting holes in thinner material. A plus is the hole will be deburred on the side you are drilling from. When drilling stainless steel (my experience was with 1/8" 316 ss) be careful to reduce RPM as each step goes through. It can work harden the material easily, and ruin the bit. A definate "MUST HAVE" for working with electrical enclosures and panels as well as sheet metal. Just don't throw away your normal twist drills. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

Here's a beauty that brings stationary-model features to the benchtop. You get the capacity to drill to the center of a 10-inch board with a 3-1/4-inch stroke, and the table tilts left and right to 45 degrees with a positive stop at 0 and offers variable-speed control at the turn of a dial. Changing speeds is as simple as turning the knob, allowing you to drill at 500 rpm and up to 3,100 rpm. Have some repetitive drilling to do? The adjustable-position locking depth stop will take the trouble out of the job. We like the Shopmaster drill presses for their Delta precision and tight prices, but we have to admit that the rack-and-pinion table depth adjustment and the built-in gooseneck lamp on this model win our hearts. The three-jaw chuck will accept bits up to 1/2 inch, and when you're done drilling, just pop out the removable safety switch to prevent unauthorized use. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

not a very well made machine
This drill press has been very disappointing. For a bench top, it is too heavy to lift so I made a stand for it, taking up limited space in my small work area. After using it for a couple of months things sort of flew apart. The main reason I selected this model was its ease of changing speeds with a simple turn of the dial. Since I have experience in machine and assembly, took the thing apart and discovered the reason was poor parts and design. While the variable speed mechanism is faily simple the design needs a little work. A set screw to hold the bearing in place on the upper motor pulley would have helped. It worked its way out of place (friction fit?) and there went the variable speed. Next, a little attention to the machining of the cap holding the spring above the motor pulley so it wouldn't bend the retaining ring out of it's grove on the motor shaft would help as well. I believe I have spent more time fixing the thing than it has given me doing the drilling tasks I bought it for.

POOR QUALITY AND DESIGN
I received the drill press in great condition and quickly from Amazon. It was easy to assemble and the instructions were well written (there was a lot of grease on every piece that made assembly challenging).

Once together, it functioned flawlessly-----for about 1 day! Then the variable speed function ceased working properly. Upon examination of the pulley system after removal of the top cover (which was nearly impossible to reassemble) it was noted that the spring system on the rear pulley did not work properly. The die-cast (cheap) rear pully had a small crack in it as well. I disassembled it and returned it to Amazon.

Subsequently, I purchased the Sears Craftsman 12" drill press and although you need to change the belt pulley ratio manually to adjust the speed, it has worked perfectly on a daily basis for months now and under heavy loads the motor doesn't even lag.

AVOID THIS DELTA DRILL PRESS!!

Nice heavy drill - with mechanical flaw
(...)Setup: 3 stars (the Delta shipping grease again)
Repair flaw: 1 star
Use When it isn't broken: 5 stars
Broken: Two times in 6 months - 0 stars...

This drill broke again today; the variable speed control snapped inside the housing. This second mechanical failure, combined with the wobbling chuck I have endured the last couple times I used it, have forced me to publicly condemn this machine as unfit to sell. I don't mind maintaining my machines occasionally, but I have put in over 8 hours of labor vs. less than one hour using the drill. Presently I am sick of it and will decide if I should try to fix it again, or just buy one from a different manufacturer.(...)

Delta Dp 250
First time buyer on Amazom. Great price, no tax, free delevery and I received the item eariler than expected. The unit was a bit heavier then I expected. Two areas that could be improved on are, there isn't a place to hold the chuck key. That would appear to be a simple task for Delta to incorporate into the design. The handle that raises the table could have been placed on an angle so as to not be so close the table. If one wants to increase the work surface area with a peice of plywood, you must provide a cutout for the elavation handle.
Other than that it appears to be a sturdy machine

Delta DP250 Shopmaster 10" Variable Speed Bench Top Drill Pr
I bought this equipment recently from Amazon.com. It was delivered on time as promised.
After some thorough degreasing the assembly was easy and uneventful.The variable speed system allows a lot of drilling versatility without touching the belt, but it is not ultra-smooth. It also requires weekly maintenance if you plan on using the drill frequently. The three spoke pilot wheel and the adjustable locking depth mechanisms are nice and easy in operation. The tilting table is OK but not at all easy to use. The finish of all major components seems to be basically per the standard for this price level. However in order to access the belt housing I needed to remove some screws that were jammed into the holes rather than cleanly treaded. After removing the top cover I decided to re-drill these holes, now everything goes together as it was intended. Verdict, this Delta drill is an OK machine for the price. It does what it is supposed to do but I am not impressed by the overall attention to detail in fabrication. The variable speed feature is convenient but given the frequent requirement for oiling I don't see a large advantage over the traditional belt and pulley systems. ... Read more
