There is no longer a Delta agency in Australia - Delta is owned by Black & Decker, as is Porter Cable, which is also no longer available in Australia - can we see a pattern here. You can get B&D c^@p tools and DeWalt - the next step up from B&D, but not the top end any more.
The closest thing to the Delta drill press you lust after is the latest model of Jet pedestal drill press - it also has variable speed via Robertson (sic) pulleys, like the variable speed lathes.
Jet-Tools Australia - Woodworking Drill Press JDP2800VS
I believe 'Jet Tools Australia' is just Gregory Machinery with a new web site - the staff at the Sydney WWW show were the same.

Thanks bsrlee
I presently have a Taiwanese drill press with an under rated motor that overheats and vibrates and a chuck that vibrates as well so I guess anything would be better than that . When I came across the Delta I should have entered it in the previous post . Thanks for your help.
