The WEISS MACHINERY WD5150 Upright Drill Press is a robust industrial drilling machine designed for heavy-duty metalworking applications. It features a powerful 3 kW (approximately 4 HP) motor that delivers a consistent spindle speed of 1,400 RPM, optimized for machining mild steel with a maximum drilling capacity of 1.97 inches (50 mm). The machine is constructed with a heavy, stable cast iron column and base, ensuring high stability and precision during operation. It supports a maximum feed resistance of 3,597 lbf (16,000 N), allowing it to handle substantial drilling forces without performance degradation. The WD5150 is equipped with a mechanical grinding clutch enabling reversible spindle rotation, enhancing versatility for tapping and reaming operations. Additional features typically include an adjustable feed system, a gear-driven speed change mechanism for smooth operation, and safety elements such as overload protection and pulley covers. Its design supports applications like countersinking, spot-facing, boring, and tapping, making it suitable for a wide range of machining tasks. This drill press is engineered for professional workshop environments requiring reliable, precise, and durable vertical drilling performance.
