1st time I’ve seen this delay…

I was looking forward to spending the weekend wrapping up my tube build. And then this… can’t complain though. I’ve had pretty good luck with shipping times this year so far.

Don't feel bad I ordered this drill press from Grizzly and it was supposed to be delivered on the 18th. But the ENTIRE FREIGHT COMPANY 'Reddaway' (a division of Yellow) took a week off for Turkey day. So I got it TWELVE days late on the 30th. Grumble.

Anyway this sucker has a radial head which can drill at angles and has a 34" swing! My old drill press made in the 40's was only 10"

Now that I have the dimensions of the base I need to sink four wedge anchors in the floor for this 140lb bad boy before I can finally use it. And crazy prices on those anchors. I need three more for a front porch repair and 7 of them were $23. So I got a 25 pack for $25. $3.28 each or $1 each for 25

Epic drill

I got a bench top drill press earlier this year - Looks a lot like yours but shorter. The whole time I was assembling it I kept thinking "this is not a drill!"

Nice looking drill press. What does a 34 inch “swing” refer to?

I assume the vertical travel of the table, but could be wrong.

Don't google that!
