Lorlin Barber, RPT has recently posted a querry into outfitting a rebuilding facility and, among other things, the selection of a radial drill press. I have two Delta radial drill presses; an older one at home and a newer one here at WSU. Both work well and I have few complaints...*but*...I wish American Machine & Tool company had come out with theirs sooner. It looks heftier than the Delta and has many features and accessories which the Delta could use (like a crank operated rack-and-pinion table height adjustment mechanism...my main pet peve with my Deltas). If you're considering the purchase of a radial drill press, I recommend at least a look at the AMT machines. They are an excellent company to deal with and their warrenty/customer service are outstanding. AMT's catalog is free (1-610-948-0400), has lots of other stuff I'm sure I can't do without much longer, and is more than worth the price of the call. If you're not in that much of a hurry, their snail mail address is: American Machine & Tool Company Fourth Avenue and Spring Street Royersford, PA 19468-2519 Regards, Alan Crane, RPT Wichita State University crane@twsuvm.uc.twsu.edu
