Delta Drill Press, revive or replace?

[carl zietz]

My Delta bench top drill press, approx 8 yrs old just had tensioner pulley failure, what is the likely hood of finding parts, and or should I just find a different drill press?

With loads of benchtop DP's available used for $100 or less, why stress about it?

Not much help from Delta on spare parts any more. I have had good luck with www.ereplacementparts.com and mikestools.com. Also it you are around Portland, OR. Dewalt tools repair on Airport Way can get some Delta part and you save shipping cost and no up front cost till parts come in. Good luck Tom

My delta 350 pulley exploded on me a couple of years ago. I was able to get a replacement but I've read that I might be out of luck now. Good luck, mark.

What model DP is it?
That always helps.

Thanks for the input guys, I think I will upgrade to the floor stand JET at this point. the LOML suggested it as a xmas present.
