Jut pull on the head, it will fall out!Went and picked it up this afternoon. It's in great shape. Guy selling it runs a decent sized furniture shop and upgraded to larger beefier 3 phase one and it looks like he just wanted it gone fast with minimum hassle, and I was happy to oblige. Even had a few workers help load it in my van.
Now to figure out how to get it out....
James, are you saying these are issues with the machine you bought?I saw your post Chris, and was very tempted.
There are only two issues:
1) The rack for table looks like it was broken ages ago and repaired. Not a big deal, but it makes it so that the table can't be lowered as far as it could, but far enough it won't bother me. I noticed this in the pictures before going, so it was expected.
2) It appears the depth stop doesn't function. Will have to investigate more to see if I can fix it or not.
Otherwise, it's a solid machine. Was able to get it out of the van and into the shop. This is definitely an upgrade over my benchtop Skil drill press.
Now to rearrange to make space... and clean.... both of which long overdue....

Oh!I didn't even look, I was thinking all the larger presses had a threaded quill depth stop...This model has a different type of depth stop, unfortunately. My old Skill press has the same type of stop.

YUP!Ah I see, like this? Drill Press Depth Stop
I will keep that in mind if I can't fix it, or if it proves to be unreliable. The one on my benchtop never gave me repeatability issues, but it was annoying to set.
