My drill press won't press !

[Dave Anderson]

Hi Fellas,
I'm hoping someone out there has had a similar problem and can help.
My drill press (Delta DP-400) will not shut off when I shut it off.
It just wants to keep working! I ordered a new switch and it still won't stop!
It's a pain having to unplug it all the time.

Anybody had a problem like this with your Delta Thanks...Dave

That's weird that a new switch didn't work, it must be possessed.

The only thing I can think of is it must be shorting somewhere. Check as much wiring as you can get to for a bare spot. Juice has to be bypassing the switch somewhere, I'd think.

Try unloading two barrels of buckshot into the machine

The switch must be wired wrong or shorting out. Otherwise there wouldn't be any juice getting to the motor, if there's a short somewhere it's gotta be at or before the switch.

I just went out and tried it with the switch unconnected and it still ran!
I have to have a short somewhere.

Thanks guys!!
