Drill press/drill bit question

[kmmcrafts]

I see the Harbor Freight drill press has the quill lock.. also seen quite a few other low cost drill press's with the quill lock.. Not sure it really has anything to do with the price of the press.. but I could be wrong.. I'm going to be in the market for a new drill press maybe this year.. my $2 Delta press is getting really sloppy and noisy.. I'll be looking on the Marketplace and craigslist and of coarse the online deals.. sooner or later I'm not going to have much choice if i wait for this one to give up.. LOL

Hi JT. I tried using my Captain Marvel's Secret Decoding Ring to find where your photos are located. The gallery address under your name came up. Page Unavailable. Apparently dgman found it.

Hey Les, those pictures are of my drill press, not JT’s.

Ohhhh! My baaaad. I should learn to read more carefully. Duh

Whether you truly want to admit it or not, JT,  I believe we all read your posts & deal with your sarcasm, and use your wisdom & knowledge more so than you think.

As far as "some of us settin' up experiments like a lab or something," my apologies JT for wantin' to make sure of what I was readin & understandin', & picturin' in my mind. I didn't want to answer the post half cocked & have to hear about that from now till doomsday from you, too.

From a reality standpoint, the solution was in Mr. Ray's question, if you truly read it, of course. The more I read the responses that were already posted, the more I thought about the situation, & the more variables began entering into the possible solution, for me anyway. 

I sit here in my chair, Mr. JT, thought about it. Chatted with Mr. Ray a little bit, & asked if he would mind if I done some research before I answered. He gave me the green light.

The more I dug into it, & read about the press, the more I learned about its capacity & capabilities. I also read some reviews from past purchases. Learned a few more things. But something still weren't makin' sense.

So, under the careful eye of my shop foreman, JT, I printed out the first few posts, yourn included, we went to the shop, and as I explained, I proceeded to set my 10" Ryobi press up the way Mr. Ray described his issue, & the way I had it envisioned. Step by step, Mr. JT. 

Measuring everything I could get a measurement from along the trail.  When I come to the bit measurement, that's when the light bulb come on & my shop foreman told me I was right in the first place.

Mr. JT, I have to tell ya, I have the upmost respect for you, Sir, & READ & trust might near ever' single word you take time out of your precious, busy schedule to enlighten us with. And that's fer certain, Boss. I will not be mocked, gouged, poked fun at, or indifferent when I am in the right, Sir. 

I am a self taught woodworker, I was doin' alright before I got involved with this site, & I'll keep doin' alright, with or without this site. My lifes experiences have taught me many different ways & skills. My sincerest damn apologies NONE of which suit you, or anyone else here, JT. If you've got a problem with me, take it up with me.

Otherwise,  you can keep your "friendly" site, & all your expert opinions. You can tear someone else to pieces for makin' an effort, JT

My friend, you must have misunderstood. Dan took photos of his drill press because he has the same model I was referring to and he was good enough to post. I would have had to take some photos because I do not have any stored anywhere. That is what is nice about this place someone always steps up in case we who are asked questions do not get back right away. 

As far as my gallery here, I mentioned this before that at one time I had one but it never came over with the new format when Travis made the switch so someday I may start a new one here. Probably then we will switch once again.

Howdy all.

This is a reminder to keep things friendly.  I think there was some misinterpretation of some of the posts.  You can disagree, but please do so calmly and respectfully.

This thread is getting a bit heated.  I think Ray got the answer he was looking for.  I'm going to lock this one down. 

Lets get back to talking about making some more sawdust!
