    I certainly covet North American made tools. I almost purchased a mid 80's rockwell delta drill press. When I put my dial indicator on it, it was as close to perfect as I have seen. Wished I had bought it, even though I got a phenomenal deal on my new Cdn built General. ($400)

    I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I have one and it's great. I haven't had to make any changes burt you might try a link belt. I've heard good things about them. Is your table mustard or black? The mustard table ones are first gen DPs and I've heard others have had this issue.
    What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.
