SB1116 21" Variable-Speed Gearhead Drill Press with Cross Slide Table

A drill press with unbeatable raw-drive power, performance, and precision.

This powerful, professional-level SB1116 South Bend 21" Gearhead Drill Press features a cross slide table with longitudinal and vertical power feed, plus all the precision and high-end capability you need to put out your best work.

The variable speed range between 0–2500 RPM is controlled by spindle speed dial and a high/low spindle speed lever. Low RPM speed is vital to drilling metal.

Geared drill presses are designed for drilling larger holes than belt driven machines thanks to the spindle bearings and tighter tolerances.

The spindle is fully reversible, features both coarse and fine downfeed controls, and a depth stop for repeatable production.

Additional features, such as a digital spindle speed readout on the headstock and a clutch-engaged downfeed function make this gearhead drill press top of its class in design and functionality.

The complete and easy-to-read SB1116 manual was written by our U.S. based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information.

Parts for the drill press may be available online and shipped from the South Bend parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
