Dake Drill Presses FAQs

What size drill press do I need for metal drilling?

Match the drill capacity to the largest hole you drill most often. The Dake TB-16 and Dake SB-16 handle holes up to 5/8". The Dake SB-25, Dake SB-25V, and Dake SB-250V step up to 1". The Dake SB-32V reaches 1-1/4" for the heaviest work.

Is a variable speed drill press worth it?

Variable speed lets you dial in the right RPM for each bit and material. Large bits in steel need slow speeds, while small bits cut best at higher speeds. The Dake SB-25V runs from 46 to 3,550 RPM to cover both.

What accessories are available for Dake drill presses?

We carry the Dake DP-4 Drill Press Vise for everyday clamping and the Dake DP-4Q Quick Release Drill Press Vise for fast part changes. Both have cast iron bodies that hold work steady on the table. See all options in Dake Drill Press Accessories.

Should I choose a bench or floor drill press?

A bench drill press saves floor space and sits on a sturdy workbench. A floor drill press gives more room under the spindle for taller parts. The Dake TB-16 offers 26-1/2" from spindle to base, while the Dake SB-16 offers 49-1/4".
