That style of Delta press has one annoyance to me. The hum from a single phase motor transfers through the sheet metal belt cover. I put rubber washers between the motor and motor mount plus rubber washers under the sheet metal belt cover. That goes a long way to muffle that buzz. Sometimes the padding in the motor's capacitor housing deteriorates and allows that plastic capacitor to buzz against the sheet metal. New foam rubber usually fixes that.
One day I'm going to replace that motor with a VFD-run 3-phase motor. I've found that I really like the convenience of electronically variable speed. A press of that quality level is well worth it.
By the way, if there's ever a manual switch problem, the switch under the operating buttons is a Furnas 12BA that is easily found on eBay.
I like the chuck key holder idea that's on that press.
Hey BobNice press. You'll like the quickness and accuracy of that quill stop. Each digit is .002" of depth. I really like them. If this is your first 6" throw press, that'll be another detail of convenience you're going to like. Fewer table moving adventures. You might want to consider a three phase motor with a VFD for electronically variable speed.
I thought the same thing back in July when I saw a couple of presses come up for auction. I couldn't resist either. I now have four floor standing presses and for good reason. I sold the one shown on the left since it was only a 4" throw press.

Bob get the thin Dyno mat or any other sound deadening mat. Dyno mat is like grace Ice&water shield biththene but the top is a foil. Used in Cars to deaden sound vibration in car doors, car tops or hoods. It is self stick.
Hey Bob
I am having a difficult time finding a handle to tighten down the table on my Delta 20" bandsaw. Its the the smalll handle under the table used to tighten the table at different angles.
If you have one, could you send along a price for one?
