And the crank-up table.
Failing that, possible a Grizzly with those features. Looks like Grizz is here to stay.
I have two DPs now, a floor Delta as above, and a bench Tiawan no-name. I usually use the bench top one, because it sits higher. I'm tall and like to be able to see what I'm doing. It's good for small stuff up high, with it's 3" stroke. Bigger stuff means go to the Delta, with it's bigger pullies the belt has better traction, so is good for bigger holes in steel. Arr-arr-arrrgh, the PW of drill presses.
I should build a base for the Delta to raise it up, then dump the no-name...
