hey folks,
I just took delivery of my delta 17-990x variable speed drill press; got it together and have been noticing some vibration. not enough that it can't drill a straight hole but anoying as hell. the quill itself is pretty smooth, but the rear hi/lo speed lever shakes and my 30lb vise will walk across the drill-press' table when in operation. I have called delta once and had new belts sent my way thinking that would be the problem but no.
So as I call delta again with the what-up I just want to lean a those creekers who have this delta DP and thier experience. what vibrations have you all encountered? what were the fixes and the like? BTW mine is noisey as well. at least from the average step pully DP, same experience with others?
I would accept my DP as just being what it is, if only the lowly 150$ harbor freight DP that it replaced was not smoother/quieter. :confused: I mean come on, its a harbor freight!
anyway thank for letting my vent guys, and if you have any advise.....
