SB1115 21" Variable-Speed Gearhead Drill Press

Unbeatable raw-drive power, performance, and precision.

This powerful, professional-level South Bend gearhead drill press features all the precision and high-end capability you need to put out your best work.

It is equipped with a variable-speed 3-phase motor with inverter that runs on single-phase, 220V power, which gives you greater speed ranges with a lower amp draw.

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.

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.

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 SB1115 manual provides full instructions on how to assemble and maintain your drill press.

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