With a 14.13-inch swing and a 5/8-inch drill capacity in mild steel, it delivers reliable performance for a wide range of applications. Powered by a 0.54 HP (1/2 HP) 110-volt motor, the drill press operates at speeds ranging from 240 to 3,400 RPM across nine selectable speeds, ensuring optimal control for various materials and bit sizes. The spindle features a Morse Taper No. 2, 3 1/8 inches of travel, and is supported by four bearing points for smooth, rigid operation. The machine’s massive cast head, machined column, and sturdy cast base minimize vibration, while the locking handle hub with dial-in adjustment allows for fast, accurate, and repeatable depth setting changes. The table measures 11 3/4 x 11 3/4 inches with machined surfaces and t-slots for secure fixturing, and the spindle-to-table distance is adjustable up to 28 1/2 inches, with a spindle-to-base clearance of 49 1/4 inches. The column diameter is 3 1/8 inches, and the overall dimensions are 19 5/8 x 12 1/2 x 64 inches, weighing 230 lbs. Standard equipment includes a 1/2" keyed chuck, bit drift, and a Plexiglas chip and chuck guard. The drill press features a three-spoke handle with spring return for ergonomic control, quick-release belt tensioning for easy speed changes, and a CE safety electrical package with push-button on/off, emergency stop, low-voltage controls, thermal overload protection, and an interlock safety switch. The DAKE SB-16 comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
