I have a nice older Rockwell-Delta (Pittsburgh era) 17" drill press that needs a new home. I have decided to get rid of anything that is just too big for me to move by myself. This wonderful beast goes at about 450 lbs, and even taken down into pieces, the head and motor are more than I can lug around. It is a great tool, with a geared standard 11 x 12 table (with no drill marks), 5 speeds, 3/4 hp rockwell motor (currently 115 v, but can be switched to 230 v), and the capacity to use a foot-powered quill drive. You can find a lot of information on this drill press from the old catalog listing at
I should have some pictures Tuesday night, and will get them posted as soon as possible. I am more interested in trading for nice vintage woodworking equipment, including a bench top drill press. We are in the process of building a new house, and I have reached an agreement with SWMBO that I can have a shop in the new house (my shop is going to have most of our stuff stored in it) while I do the cabinets and interior finish as long as it is not too big. To that end I currently have a 9" Rockwell table saw, a 6" General Jointer, an Inca bandsaw, and a nice Atlas drill press - only piece of modern equipment is a Delta 560 planer which I actually like a lot (I take it outside to use it, much less dust).
Thanks for looking,
Stephen Poe
