Technical Description

The OPTIMUM DH 32 GS Upright Drill Press features a robust design with a 32.3-inch swing and a 1.3-inch drilling capacity in mild steel, powered by a 2.9 HP (2.2 kW) motor delivering up to 2,000 RPM across 8 speed steps. The machine measures 28.5" (L) x 17.7" (W) x 86.6" (H), weighing approximately 650 lbs, and is built on a heavy cast base and column (4.5" diameter) for stability and vibration absorption. The drill press offers a maximum spindle-to-base distance of 50 inches and a spindle-to-drilling-table distance of 32.3 inches, with a throat reach of 11.2 inches, facilitating large workpieces. Operational precision is enhanced by a high-accuracy MT 4 spindle taper and a spindle stroke of 4.9 inches, with fine quill feed speeds of 0.002 and 0.004 inches per revolution. The drilling table workspace spans 15.7" x 16.5" with dual diagonal 0.55" T-slots for secure fixturing, supporting loads up to 264.6 lbs. The machine includes a coolant pump with a 40 W motor to aid in heat management during drilling. Additional features include a low-maintenance grease-lubricated gearbox with polyamide gear wheels to reduce wear and noise, an integrated machine light, adjustable depth stop with millimeter scale, and compatibility with a 400 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz power supply. Optional functions encompass tapping capability, automatic spindle feed, and footswitch control for thread cutting and rotation reversal, making this drill press suitable for industrial precision drilling and tapping tasks.
