Grrr... Delta Drill Press

[Dave Norris]

HI,
Can anyone tell me the difference between a Delta 20-948 drill press and the 20-950? I can't seem to find the 20-948 on the internet anywhere.

Long story short, I ordered a Delta 20-950 from a large Delta online dealer, and it has been one hassle after another, including today when it finally arrived, and the box says it's a 20-948, not the 20-950 I ordered. Before I call the company and throw a royal fit, is there enough difference between the two to warrant sending this one back?

Thanks for any help.

It looked to me like 20-948 refers to the head of the 20-inch drill press. Is it possible that the 20-950 shipped in two boxes and you are just looking at the head of the unit?

Hi Brad,
Pardon me while I wipe this egg off my face...

Upon looking at the packing list, it looks like perhaps the 20-950 is in fact made up of the 20-948 Drill press head, and the 20-957 column.

Perhaps then you (or someone else?) may know if the 17-935 mortising attachment would fit this machine? The box doesn't list a 52 mm size, but lists a variety of sizes from 66 mm down to 44 mm. I don't want to tear the box open if it won't fit.
