JET J-2232AC UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The JET J-2232AC Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty industrial-grade machine featuring a 20-inch swing, allowing for drilling centered on workpieces up to 20 inches in diameter. It delivers robust power through a 2.0 HP motor, operating at a high-speed 2,000 RPM for efficient drilling performance in both mild steel (up to 1.375 inches capacity) and cast iron (up to 1.5 inches capacity). The drill press has a substantial spindle-to-table distance of 32-3/8 inches, accommodating tall or thick workpieces and deep drilling tasks without repositioning. Constructed on a sturdy frame, it measures 37 by 27 inches in footprint and stands about 82 inches tall, weighing 792 pounds, ensuring stability during operation and precision drilling. Its design supports accurate, repeatable holes with sufficient power and throat clearance for larger diameter materials. The sizable quill travel allows deep hole drilling and use of long bits, suitable for industrial metalworking and fabrication environments. Overall, the JET J-2232AC balances heavy-duty capacity, precision, and rigidity, making it ideal for demanding shop applications requiring consistent, high-power drilling in large and dense materials.
