Baileigh DP-1500VS 20" EVS Inverter Driven Drill Press
Are you running a fabrication or metalworking shop that needs a heavy-duty variable speed drill press with 1.5-inch drilling capacity and a digital speed readout on 220V single-phase power?
What if that drill press gave you 65 to 2,000 RPM without belt changes, a 21-inch swing, 5.9-inch spindle travel, and integrated work area lighting in one machine?
Meet the Baileigh DP-1500VS, a 20-inch EVS inverter driven drill press built for demanding metalworking and fabrication environments that need precise variable speed control and heavy drilling capability on 220V single-phase power.
With the DP-1500VS, you get a 2 HP inverter-driven motor on 220V single-phase power, continuous speed adjustment from 65 to 2,000 RPM, a digital speed readout, and a rigid cast iron head, base, and column for accurate, vibration-free drilling.
When the DP-1500VS is set up for your job, you get accurate, consistent drilling and tapping results with a machine built for demanding daily industrial shop use.
Baileigh DP-1500VS for Heavy-Duty Variable Speed Industrial Drill Press Work
Continuously Variable Speed from 65 to 2,000 RPM
The inverter-driven motor adjusts spindle speed continuously from 65 to 2,000 RPM without belt changes, letting operators match drilling speed to the material and bit at hand. A digital speed readout displays actual RPM so operators can set and monitor the exact cutting speed throughout the drilling cycle.
1.5-Inch Drilling Capacity and MT4 Spindle Handle Heavy Work
The DP-1500VS drills up to 1.5 inches through mild steel and 1.75 inches through cast iron, covering the heavy drilling requirements that demanding fabrication and metalworking shops encounter regularly. The MT4 Morse taper spindle provides broad tooling compatibility with standard heavy-duty shop tooling and supports 3/4-inch tapping capacity in mild steel.
21-Inch Swing and 5.9-Inch Spindle Travel Handle Larger Work
The 21-inch swing accommodates a wide range of larger workpiece sizes, and the 5.9-inch spindle travel reaches deeper into workpieces than shorter travel machines allow. Three selectable quill feed rates — 0.002, 0.004, and 0.0078 inches per revolution — give operators control over chip load on different materials and drill sizes.
Rigid Cast Iron Construction and Integrated Lighting Support Daily Production
The rigid cast iron head, base, and column minimize vibration and resist flex during heavy drilling operations, keeping the spindle aligned and results accurate through repeated daily use. Integrated work area lighting improves visibility at the drill point so operators can follow layout lines and monitor the cut clearly during extended drilling sessions.
