Baileigh DP-1400VS 18" EVS Drill Press
Are you running a fabrication, machining, or metalworking shop that needs a variable speed drill press with auto-reversing tapping and a digital RPM readout on 220V single-phase power?
What if that drill press gave you 80 to 2,500 RPM without belt changes, an 18-inch swing, 1.25-inch drilling capacity, a 360-degree pivoting table, and an integrated coolant system?
Meet the Baileigh DP-1400VS, an 18-inch EVS drill press built for fabrication, machining, and metalworking shops that need precise variable speed control and built-in tapping capability in one machine.
With the DP-1400VS, 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 rigid cast iron base and column that resist flex at full drilling capacity.
When the DP-1400VS is set up for your job, you get accurate, consistent drilling and tapping results with a machine built for dependable daily industrial shop use.

Baileigh DP-1400VS for Variable Speed Industrial Drilling and Tapping Work
Continuously Variable Speed from 80 to 2,500 RPM
The inverter-driven motor adjusts spindle speed continuously from 80 to 2,500 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.
18-Inch Swing and 360-Degree Pivoting Table Handle Larger Setups
The 18-inch swing accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, and the large table pivots 360 degrees for flexible positioning of workpieces around the spindle. This pivoting table capability suits fabrication and machining shops that drill into workpieces at varying orientations on a regular basis.
Integrated Coolant System and Cast Iron Build Support Daily Production
The integrated coolant system sprays coolant behind the safety guard during drilling and tapping, extending bit and tap life on longer production runs. The rigid cast iron base and column resist flex and minimize vibration during heavy drilling operations, keeping results accurate through repeated daily use.
