Unbeatable raw-drive power, performance and precision

These powerful, professional-level gearhead drill presses feature all the precision and high-end capability you need to put out your best work.

Available with or without a cross slide table with longitudinal and vertical power feed, each of these models is equipped with a variable-speed 3-phase motor with inverter that runs on single-phase, 220V power. This gives you greater speed ranges with a lower amp draw.

Additional features, such as a digital spindle speed readout on the headstock and a clutch-engaged downfeed function make these gearhead drill presses top of their class in design and functionality.

Whether you're looking for a basic high-end drilling machine, or you require the additional functionality of a cross slide table with power feed, you'll get everything you need with either of these South Bend gearhead drill presses.
