Today, when scanning Craigslist, I saw a drill press on sale for $200, so I immediately inquired further to find out it was a used Delta 17-965. I've been looking for a drill press for some time, but wasn't ready to buy one unless I came across an offer I could not refuse - this was it. The gentleman I purchased it from also threw in the drill press vise for free.
So, for $200, I got both the 17-965 and a very nice vise, which probably cost $75-$100 by itself brand new.
Now that I've got it home, I played around with it for a while and it works great.
That's about it. I'm off to drill some holes in something.:D

Boy am I jealous. It was either that press or the Steel City that I will be buying. $200 is a great deal. Congrats.
