Yeah so I bought a Delta Shopmaster 12" drill press a while back. Used it to drill a grand total of 10-15 holes. Today I'm drilling a few 1/2" holes. Drill a pilot and chuck up the 1/2" drill.... turn on and the motor is just forcing. WTF? I pull the top off and all is good.. and suddenly it's fine.

Well, what happens is I can get it to go by turning it on and spinning the chuck by hand to overcome the inital force.. or if I wait 5 minutes or so, it will click and work. (which normally should be clicking right after I shut it off). I'm thinking there is an electric brake or clutch that is staying locked.

Either way it pisses me off, brand new expensive drill press and it's broke. I ain't packing this thing up and shipping it... there gonna ship me a new one or come and fix it. Fucking Delta bastards.

I gotta call them tomorrow morning and yell at them.
