I’ve got a 16 1/2″ Delta floor model dril press that I have had for about 12 years. The only thing I have ever done to it is to change over to link belts. If I was to ” move up” to a “better” drill press, where should I go?

Your depth of knowledge on this subject is awesome!
I have a fairly standard small shop drill press, the Delta 16 1/2", and am looking to go to something a little larger. I went from a delta 14" 3/4hp bandsaw to a laguna 18" 3hp bandsaw. I am looking to do a similar kind of move with my drill press. If you have any ideas based on this kind of move up I would appreciate the advice. Your previous information has been a little overwhelming for me.
thanks
Duncan

It's a designator for a high end piece of machinery.
Computer Numerical Count.

Sorry, the explanation of what the acronym stands for still does not help me in my quest for suggestions about a new drill press.

A computer driven machine from the size of pick up to a semi with 4 decimal place accuracy. 6 axis. Auto bit change with a turrent head. Coolant bath. Material self feed isn't an up grade to your drill press.
What would be other than a say a Bourroughs machinest's drill press.
Or go for a Hardinges.
