I am wondering how much the new Delta 17-959L Drill Press will sell for? I am going to purchase a new DP but I’m not sure if I should get the 17-965 or wait three months for the new models to come out. Are they priced about the same?

Sorry for the delay. I haven't checked these messages in a while. I'll check on the Delta.

The latest Delta drill presses we know about are 20-in. floor-standing models, which will sell for about $700 and $900. The more expensive one has a speed readout and laser guides. They both got favorable reviews in our coverage of the IWF trade show last summer. Check out my video at:

I didn't see the 17-959L, but it is selling for $500 on Amazon.com. And it looks similar to the new models I reviewed, just with a slightly shorter quill stroke.
