Get a Bench Top Mortiser if you can afford one
I've been using this attachment for a couple of years now. I recommend it only if you cannot afford a bench top mortiser.

First, attaching the fence to my 16 1/2" Delta drill press is not easy at all. In fact, it's a real pain in the keester. You would think this would be easy because it is a Delta drill press but it isn't.

Second, the workpiece holddowns are cheap and difficult to work with. No matter what you do, the workpiece moves when you don't want it to move, or it stays put when you want it to move. It's not a good design.

Third, the chisels do not drill perfectly square holes. The auger bits are just a hair bigger than the chisels. So, you end up with a circle with square corners. This effect is more pronounced the bigger the chisel/bit.

I finally ditched the table accessories and built my own table jig (which works surprisingly well and looks cool too). This solved the first two issues. If it is really important to have perfectly square mortises, I cut them by hand. This solves the final issue. (Note: the mortises are OK for most joinery because you have a shoulder on the tenon to hide the slightly out of square mortise.)

fit???
i am still in iraq, i ordered this to go on my drill press, the dp-200 i know delta doesnt say that it fits, below some one said it did all in all ill just see if it doesnt someone let me know and i can send it to them for 10.00 less then amozon. i only gave it 3 stars for now but will update later

Good tool, but not worth buying
I bought this tool with my drill press a couple years ago and have hardly used it.There is nothing wrong with it, but I find that there are several things that stop me from using it more often.The first is the setup.It takes too long and is too awkward.Personally I'd rather pop in a forstener bit into my drill press and make several passes to achieve a very good mortise - although this doesn't work if you are doing a through mortise.

PROS:
* Does the job it states
* Much cheaper than a dedicated mortiser

CONS:
* Much too time consuming to set up
* Has a very hard time cutting through hardwoods
* Chisels seem to dull quickly ... Read more

ordering data
This is a quality vise as are most Delta products.Before ordering be sure this vise will fit on the table of your drill press.Those specs are not available on the website....call first.When I received this vise I had not realized it would not mount on my Delta model DP 250 drill press so I gave it to my son who is very pleased with it.

Still waiting.
I ordered this item on November 20, 2004.Today is December 7, 2004.I am still waiting for my order to be filled and shipped.Suggest time from order placed until order shipped be changed to, "When we get it, we will ship it," or "We will ship when convenient for us." Bill Helf.

Get a grip
This low cost vise will hold whatever you need to drill a hole in on your drill press. The quick release lets you change pieces fast for repetitive drilling. Unfortunatly, it does not fit the Delta DP300 bench drill press .... It is much too large and the mounting holes do not line up... ... Read more

These are a decent value...
Actually I give this set 3.5 stars.I have used the larger diameter drums in my Delta 17-900 drill press with great success.I have also chucked the two smallest diameter drums into my hand drill and used them to aid in fitting new door lock/sets to old doors (enlarging the bore for the latch).

For all you fellow tool junkies out there, granted this isn't the nicest sanding drum attachment set on the market, but for the home hobbyist or a pro who only occasionally has the need, these will serve quite nicely.For 20 bucks you cannot go wrong here...

Good set...
I use this set of drums with a Milwaukee angle drill, to clean up the inside of bandsaw boxes and to establish contours and round over edges. For the price they are tough to beat. Have been using them for at least three years maybe a bit longer and have no complaints. I found I can use the tubes from my Jet spindle sander, just cut em in half, saves having to buy differant sets of tubes. Get two usable tubes from one Jet tube.
I use this set almost every day and as I said have no complaints. This is a good buy and I recommend it.

Best deal going!
Amazon has the best deal going with this set. The price is great, and this is yet another way to make your drill press useful... ... Read more

Its just OK...
I bought this vice soon after I bought my drill press thinking it would be a much needed accessory.I was wrong!I think I have used this thing twice in five years...

There is nothing wrong with this tool.The casting is heavy and the screw operates smoothly.The main issue is that it is a pain to attach to the drill press table and also a pain to make adjustments to once it is attached.Also, the jaws are a bit too narrow for a lot of what I might use the thing for...

Basically its a bad idea that is really well made.If you can think of a good use for it, then by all means buy it for its quality and price - otherwise forget it. ... Read more

Sorry Delta...
Nothing personal,but Delta dropped the ball on this one.
It will make a true mortise cut,but adjusting the chisel with the auger bit is a lot a work.I purchased this tool hoping to save some work.Tends to overheat.I'm a casual user of this tool.The Idea is wonderful,but needs some re-engineering. ... Read more

It does what it is supposed to!
I have had one of these in my home shop for a few years now.Although it is sturdy and mounted in a very handy position, I find that I just don't use it all that much.All I really keep on mine is the chuck key.Since my drill bits do double duty in my heavy duty hand-held drill, I keep them in a more portable container, not on this tray.

Despite all that though, it is worth the money and it does just what you would want it to do!

Every drill press should have one
What took me so long to get one of these?Construction of this swiveling tray is nice heavy molded plastic.Installation is a breeze.Now I can keep my chuck key, drill bits and parts and sundries within arm's reach.Reasonably priced. ... Read more
