Geared Up - October 2010

For The Garage
Each month we will be featuring and reviewing a DIY garage tool from Summit Racing. Summit carries a wide variety of the tools needed to get the job done right the first time. This month, we bring you laser-guided precision drilling from Delta Machinery. Are you looking for precision drilling at home? The Delta Machinery 12-inch crosshair laser drill press gives you just that and allow you to put away the power drill. This 12-inch bench-top press has 1/3 hp motors with five speeds for fast and accurate drilling through wood, metal, and plastic. They are made from durable cast-iron construction and have 1/2-inch key chucks. They also feature an adjustable locking depth stop for consistent and repeatable drilling. The tilting tables measure 9 7/8 inches long by 8 1/2 inches wide and offer a C-clamp edge plus an adjustable 60-watt work lamp. They also feature a 9V battery-powered twinlaser pod that indicates the drill point on the material with bright laser crosshairs. As an added feature, they have an 11-inch-diameter utility tray to keep important tools and bits nearby.
