KBC 600B UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The KBC 600B Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty industrial machine designed for precision drilling in metalworking and similar applications. It features a robust 5-1/2" diameter column and a large 24" swing capacity, allowing it to handle sizable workpieces. The drill press is powered by a 1/2 HP, 230V, 3-phase motor, delivering reliable performance across eight spindle speeds ranging from 80 to 950 RPM. This wide speed range accommodates various drilling requirements from slow, high-torque operations to faster spindle speeds. The machine includes a power feed mechanism with adjustable feed rates from 0.004 to 0.007 inches per revolution, enabling controlled and consistent material removal. It utilizes a 4 Morse taper (4MT) spindle taper, compatible with standard drill bits and tooling. The drill press has a maximum drilling capacity of 1-1/2 inches in steel, suitable for heavy industrial use. The maximum spindle-to-base distance is 47 inches, and the spindle-to-table clearance is 32-1/2 inches, offering ample work area and flexibility when working with tall or long parts. The sizable 20" by 16" T-slot table supports secure clamping and positioning of workpieces. Additional features include a geared head for precise speed selection and a foot pedal-operated instant reverse switch for tapping operations. The total machine weight is approximately 800 pounds, reflecting its heavy cast construction for stability and reduced vibration during operation. This sturdy floor-standing drill press is optimized for demanding industrial environments requiring precision and versatility.
