Baileigh DP-1250VS 20.8" EVS Variable Speed Drill Press
Are you running a fabrication or machine shop that needs a heavy-duty variable speed drill press with auto-reversing tapping, a digital RPM readout, and a large T-slot table on 220V single-phase power?
What if that drill press gave you 85 to 2,000 RPM without belt changes, a 20.8-inch swing, 1.25-inch drilling capacity, and a base-mounted coolant system in one machine?
Meet the Baileigh DP-1250VS, a 20.8-inch EVS variable speed drill press built for fabrication and machine shops that need precise speed control, built-in tapping, and heavy workholding capability on 220V single-phase power.
With the DP-1250VS, 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, wide column, and robust table casting that resist flex at full drilling capacity.
When the DP-1250VS is set up for your job, you get accurate, consistent drilling and tapping results with a machine built for demanding daily shop use.
Baileigh DP-1250VS for Variable Speed Industrial Drilling and Tapping Work
Continuously Variable Speed from 85 to 2,000 RPM
The inverter-driven motor adjusts spindle speed continuously from 85 to 2,000 RPM without belt changes, letting operators match drilling speed to the material and bit at hand. A digital RPM readout displays actual spindle speed so operators can set and repeat the right cutting parameters for each job.
Auto-Reversing Tap Function Adds Built-In Tapping Capability
The auto-reversing tap function handles tapping operations up to 5/8-inch in mild steel without manual spindle reversal between tapping cycles. This built-in tapping capability removes the need for a separate tapping machine on jobs where drilled holes require threads.
20.8-Inch Swing and T-Slot Table Handle Larger Setups
The 20.8-inch swing accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, and the 22-inch by 18.5-inch table with 5/8-inch T-slots secures vises and fixtures firmly for heavy workholding setups. This table size suits the larger workpiece and fixture configurations that fabrication and machine shops use on a regular basis.
Base-Mounted Coolant System and Cast Iron Build Support Daily Production
The base-mounted coolant system sprays coolant at the spindle behind the safety guard during drilling and tapping, extending bit and tap life on longer production runs. The heavy cast iron base, wide column, and robust table casting resist flex and minimize vibration during heavy drilling operations, keeping results accurate through repeated daily use.
