J&M DP5120A UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The J&M DP5120A Upright Drill Press features a 14.17-inch swing and a drilling capacity of 0.79 inches in mild steel, powered by an estimated 750W (approximately 1 HP) motor typical for comparable models. It operates at a maximum speed of 2,840 RPM across 16 variable speed steps, providing versatility for different drilling applications. The machine includes a 20 mm (0.79 inches) chuck and an 85 mm (3.35 inches) spindle stroke, with an MT2 spindle taper for standard tooling compatibility. The worktable measures approximately 11.4 by 11.4 inches (290 x 290 mm), supported by a base of about 18.1 by 11 inches (460 x 280 mm), and stabilized by a column with a 2.8-inch (72 mm) diameter. Total height stands around 62.2 inches (1,580 mm), and the machine weighs approximately 145 lbs (66 kg), reflecting robust construction for industrial or workshop environments. These specifications align closely with the DP5116/20A series models from J&M, suggesting similar build quality and performance characteristics. The DP5120A design balances compact footprint with functional capacity, aimed at precision drilling tasks requiring reliable power and consistent speed control. Its combination of motor power, spindle stroke, and variable speeds supports a broad range of materials and drill bit sizes, making it suitable for both light manufacturing and serious hobbyist use.
