WILLIS SE725SL UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The WILLIS SE725SL Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty machine designed for precision drilling in industrial applications. It is powered by a robust 2.2 kW (approximately 2.95 HP) motor delivering consistent power at a spindle speed of 1,524 RPM. With a 28-inch swing, it accommodates larger workpieces, while its drilling capacities allow penetration of up to 1.75 inches in mild steel and 1.875 inches in cast iron. The drill press features a substantial footprint measuring 40 inches in length, 30 inches in width, and 95 inches in height, and weighs 1,810 pounds, ensuring stability during operation. The machine construction emphasizes durability and stiffness, contributing to smooth and accurate drilling performance. The design typically incorporates a precision spindle with helical gears in an oil bath for efficient and quiet operation, a key characteristic of Willis and Solberga models. The ability to handle different materials and thicknesses makes it suitable for maintenance, tool & die, metal fabrication, and other manufacturing environments requiring reliable and high-capacity drilling power. Overall, the SE725SL offers a strong combination of power, reach, and capacity in a rugged assembly optimized for heavy-duty and sensitive drilling tasks.
