Motor & Power Configuration
This machine features a 1HP motor and operates on 120V single-phase power, providing strong performance without requiring industrial power infrastructure.
Electronic Variable Speed with Gear Drive
The gear-driven system delivers consistent torque across two speed ranges: 150–870 RPM (low) and 600–3600 RPM (high), allowing precise control for a wide range of materials and applications.
High Torque Performance
The gear-driven powertrain maintains torque at lower speeds, making it ideal for drilling hardwoods and using larger diameter bits.
Laser Alignment System
A high-visibility crosshair laser clearly marks the drilling point for improved accuracy and repeatable hole placement.
Integrated LED Work Lighting
Two built-in LED lights illuminate the work area, reducing shadows and improving visibility at the point of drilling.
Large Cast Iron Work Table
The 20-1/2" x 15-1/3" cast iron table provides stable support and tilts up to 90° for angled drilling applications.
Adjustable Fence System
The included fence system improves alignment and repeatability for production drilling tasks.
Heavy-Duty Stability
An oversized cast iron base reduces vibration and ensures stable operation across the full 20-inch swing capacity.
User-Friendly Operation
Reversible downfeed handles allow left- or right-hand operation, improving ergonomics and control.
