I am looking to purchase a new drill press. 16.5" or greater. The new Delta 17-95OL seems nice with the Twin Laser cross hairs built in. But then again it seems like it may just be the smaller 12" version on a larger stand for a lot more money. The 17-990X looks nice but No Laser. Anyone know of a quality Press that also has the Laser cross hairs built in? TIA  |

It seems to me that any off axis laser or other pointing device would have paralax, and the error would increase with distance from the chuck. Al |

I have one. its pretty dead on regardless on the distance from the chuck! The laser is horizontal so it doesn't change as you raise or lower the chuck... Unfortunately I don't use it much, I tend to hold the wood and my hand blocks part of the laser

I saw that at Rockler. It had some pretty cool features besides the laser if I remember. |
