Title: Delta Homecraft with Drill press
Post by: cooplegend on May 21, 2012, 09:16:12 AM

I bought a foreclosed property and they left a Delta Homecraft with drill press. What is it worth? They also left a delta central workshop vaccuum. What might this be worth.

 That's the first time Ive ever seen a drill press that flips up mounted on a Delta tablesaw/jointer combo. I wasn't aware that Delta made such a contrivance. And I've had lots of Delta around here through the years. I'd love to see better pictures of it if possible, and would be interested in buying it. I'm not real sure of the value till I knew more.

I modified the post to turn the picture and let you see it larger. Click on it and you will see it better.

Thanks Pawpaw. Could you flip the drill press upright and take a couple more shots? Hard to tell if theres even a motor up there. lol/. Just kidding, and I do thank you for your efforts. You run a fine site here.

Best I can do. Looks like a spindle on top, so there must be a way to route the belt to it.

There's a motor there.  You can see the dark shape of it and the belt running to it in Third picture.  Kind of hard to figure out upside down though.

Sure enough there is a motor and belt there!

I found this pdf on the vintage machinery site, vintagemachinery.org/pubs/1141/3160.pdf  page seven has this tool with the belt being driven from the table saw arbor.

Here is page seven showing the many features. Hope it's OK to show this from the vintage machinery site.
