Was recently using my floor model Delta drill press, when the on/off switch stopped working in the on position. I was able to complete the project that I was working on safely, but decided I must fix the switch. Like with most equipment maintenance issues, I turned to YouTube to assess the complexity and damages I might expect. To my surprise, the fix was a simple switch replacement, with the new switch sourced from Amazon. Knowing that Delta parts can be challenging to find, this was great news. Turning to Amazon, I found the part for about $8.00! Ordered the part, and when it arrived was able to remove/replace the old switch with ease. In less than 10 minutes the drill press was up and running again. Once in a blue moon there’s a good news story on equipment maintenance!
