Baileigh DP-1200VS 20.8" Variable Speed Drill Press
Are you running a fabrication shop or machine room that needs a variable speed drill press with continuous speed control and a digital RPM readout on 220V single-phase power?
What if that drill press gave you 10 to 2,250 RPM without belt changes, a 22-inch swing, 1-1/16-inch drilling capacity, and T-slot table fixturing in one machine?
Meet the Baileigh DP-1200VS, a 20.8-inch variable speed drill press built for fabrication shops and machine rooms that need precise, flexible speed control on a wide range of drilling and tapping work.
With the DP-1200VS, you get a 2 HP inverter-driven motor on 220V single-phase power, continuous speed adjustment via a potentiometer dial, a digital RPM readout, and a heavy cast iron base and wide column that resist flex at full drilling capacity.
When the DP-1200VS is set up for your job, you get accurate, consistent drilling and tapping results with a machine built for dependable daily shop use.
Baileigh DP-1200VS for Variable Speed Industrial Drill Press Work
Continuously Variable Speed from 10 to 2,250 RPM
The inverter-driven motor adjusts spindle speed continuously from 10 to 2,250 RPM via a potentiometer dial without belt changes, letting operators dial in the right drilling speed for the material and bit at hand. A digital readout displays actual spindle RPM so operators can set and monitor the exact cutting speed throughout the drilling cycle.
2 HP Motor and Wide Column Resist Flex at Full Capacity
The 2 HP inverter-driven motor delivers consistent power for 1-1/16-inch drilling capacity in mild steel and 1/2-inch tapping capacity. The wide column keeps the machine rigid and minimizes flex under full drilling load, contributing to accurate hole placement and consistent results on heavier fabrication work.
22-Inch Swing and T-Slot Table Handle Larger Setups
The 22-inch swing accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes for a floor-standing drill press. The heavy iron casting table with 5/8-inch T-slots secures vises and fixtures firmly, supporting the heavier workholding setups that fabrication shops and machine rooms use on a regular basis.
MT3 Spindle and Cast Iron Base Support Daily Production Use
The MT3 Morse taper spindle provides broad tooling compatibility with standard shop tooling that fabrication and machine shops commonly stock. The heavy cast iron base minimizes vibration and holds the machine stable through demanding drilling work across a full production day.
