Baileigh DP-1250VS-HS 20" EVS High Speed Drill Press
Are you running a fabrication or machine shop that needs a high speed drill press capable of thermal friction drilling, conventional drilling, and tapping on 220V single-phase power?
What if that drill press gave you 100 to 4,000 RPM without belt changes, a 20-inch swing, 1.25-inch drilling capacity, auto-reversing tapping, and a built-in coolant system in one machine?
Meet the Baileigh DP-1250VS-HS, a 20-inch EVS high speed drill press built for fabrication and machine shops that need extended variable speed range for thermal friction drilling, conventional drilling, and tapping on 220V single-phase power.
With the DP-1250VS-HS, you get a 2 HP inverter-driven motor on 220V single-phase power, continuous speed adjustment from 100 to 4,000 RPM, and a heavy-duty cast iron base and wide column that minimize flex at full drilling capacity.
When the DP-1250VS-HS is set up for your job, you get accurate, consistent results across drilling, tapping, and thermal friction applications with a machine built for demanding daily shop use.
Baileigh DP-1250VS-HS for High Speed Variable Speed Drill Press Work
Continuously Variable Speed from 100 to 4,000 RPM
The inverter-driven motor adjusts spindle speed continuously from 100 to 4,000 RPM without belt changes, covering the full range from conventional drilling at lower speeds through thermal friction drilling and high-speed operations at the upper end. This extended speed range makes the DP-1250VS-HS suitable for a wider variety of drilling and tapping applications than standard variable speed drill presses.
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-Inch Swing and T-Slot Table Handle Larger Setups
The 20-inch swing accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, and the machined polished worktable with 5/8-inch T-slots secures vises and fixtures firmly for heavy workholding setups. The MT4 Morse taper spindle provides broad tooling compatibility with standard shop tooling across drilling, tapping, and thermal friction operations.
Built-In Coolant System and Safety Shield Support Daily Production
The built-in coolant system with a 1/8 HP pump cools the work zone during drilling and tapping operations, extending tool and bit life on longer production runs. A protective spindle shield with limit switch improves operator safety during high-speed drilling applications.
