Overview

At roughly 3 feet long, the Delta 46-460 is a benchtop tool drawing 12 amps on a 110 volt corded circuit with variable speed up to 4000 RPM. Its size points to a dedicated shop setup for metalworking rather than portable use.

At 36 inches long by 11 inches wide by 17.75 inches high, this is a benchtop-scale tool rather than a handheld one, and the 4000 RPM ceiling suggests speed control for different materials or bit sizes. The listing gives no further detail on table size or accessory capacity, so shop layout and workholding should be checked separately before buying.
