Just got an e-mail from Delta showing off the 17" woodworkers DP.
Looks good.

I got the similar Delta 17-950L last year. It has the same table as these new machines. It is an exceptionally nice cast iron table. It's huge for a drill press (18 x 14), tilts left, right, and forward, and it has two t-tracks built in for 5/16 t-bolts. It also doesn't have a "lip" around the edge of the table, so you can easily use quick clamps anywhere on the table. The laser works exceptionally well too. It stays accurate.
There are some nice improvements in these new drill presses. The quill travel is 4-7/8" (one inch longer than the 17-950). I like the larger base. I had to add a bit of plywood to the bottom of mine to increase stability. The larger motor is nice too.
The real star is that table, though. If you are looking for a new drill press, take a serious look at these Delta's.
