Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful, mid-century American-made Delta Milwaukee 14-inch floor-model drill press (Model MB-62C110-CW). This is a heavy-duty, solid cast-iron industrial machine built to a standard that you simply cannot buy new today without spending a lot more money.
Features & Condition:
• Model Configuration: Features the original Delta 62-110 1/3 HP capacitor-start motor (1725 RPM, clockwise rotation).
• Motor runs smooth and quiet. This drill press has been lightly used over the years and kept in excellent condition.
• Original Parts Intact: Comes with the highly sought-after original cast-iron "high-hat" belt guard and the original matched 4-step aluminum speed pulleys. These provide four distinct spindle speeds:
Low Speed: 700 RPM (optimal for larger wood bits)
Medium-Low Speed: 1,250 RPM
Medium-High Speed: 2,400 RPM -
High Speed: 4,700 RPM (ideal for micro twist drills and clean routing)
• Comes with the highly sought-after original cast-iron "high-hat" belt guard and the original matched 4-step aluminum speed pulleys.
• Rare Factory Extra: Still features the rare, original Delta DP-395 Treadle Lever Bracket clamped to the base of the column
(used for the optional hands-free foot-feed production attachment).
• Excellent Mechanics: The column is clean and bright with no heavy pitting. The quill stroke handles smoothly.
• Bonus Included: Comes mounted with a heavy-duty cross-slide milling/drilling vise attached to the work table,
making precision layout work incredibly easy. This means that you can clamp down an object and accurately move it in any
direction. For example: this is great for drilling holes in an exact line.
• The drill press is mounted on a wheeled platform for easy movement around the shop.
• Additional Specs:
o Equipped with a standard Jacobs chuck for up to 1/2 inch diameter drill bits
o Quill Travel: Maximum stroke depth of 3-1/2 inches, featuring a traditional adjustable micro-meter depth stop collar.
o Built with a split-spindle design operating on four New Departure sealed ball bearings to isolate drive-belt vibration from the tool spindle.
o Weight: Approx. 145 lbs with the heavy floor-model column and base.
o Height: 60 inches.
This is a phenomenal machine for a woodworker, machinist, or vintage machinery enthusiast who appreciates classic USA-made iron.
