Yet another new (slightly used) tool gloat - Drill Press

[Tim Malyszko]

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

Congrats Tim. It looks almost new!

[Don Bullock]

Great find Tim. Congratulations.

Gloat/Tool there Tim. I love hearing about good deals on great used tools. Looks like a keeper to me! Congrats :D

Kewel gloat, Tim!!! Great buy!

You got a bargain! Congrats!

[Matt Lentzner]

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