me to decide what is good information and what isn't.
I read a long article with lots of stats on 9 different drill presses.
The delta 17-965 came out on top in my mind. It had all the features and
ranked, along with oth
The review I looked at had the Grizzly G7947 as one of the presses. It
actually looked great except for two things. It weighs a freakin ton, 275
pounds. The next heaviest press was 200 pounds. And, it had the worst

I understand what you are saying about quality versis name. One can no longer
purchase a name brand tool and expect it to be a
quality product based on the brand name. Even Powermatic is being made in Asia

I agree totally with the v-twist belts. I use them every where possible. The
most improved tool in my case was the bandsaw. I'm
assuming this is because the belt is so long.

Those, either one of them, would be loads of fun carrying up to your house,

I wish I had known about the Grizzly showroom last July when I was out in
that area back packing.
It's a good 200 miles from here, so gas plus hotel plus meals. *GRIN*

Sorry, I sent the previous message before I was done. I am comparing two
Grizzly presses.
The Grizzly G7944

I realize my last message was not appropriate. I apologize for any offense I
caused.
I feel a more constructive comment would serve the list better.
