I bought this Delta branded drill new about 20 years ago. It has served me well but I need to upgrade. The photos should answer most questions, but what is not obvious is that the spindle has a standard 2MT taper. I personally favour the conventional key chuck which is currently fitted, but I do have a genuine Jacobs precision keyless chuck with a 2MT spindle which I will include.
The drill is light enough to move around easily. The spindle fit in the head has no play. The table has only one mark of shame for which I will never forgive myself!
It will manage a sharp 40mm Forstner bit into birch ply. The feed rate needs to be reasonable and I set the belt tension so that the belts slip before the motor stalls.
Hopefully, the photos tell all. Price? I'm asking £65 complete with the keyless chuck.
