Overview

Drilling at the right speed for the material is the idea behind this Powermatic floor drill press, which sets spindle speed electronically and shows it on an LED readout. A keyed chuck, arbor, base and table assembly come with it.

Electronic speed in place of belt changes, with a readout and a laser to line up the bit, is the reason to consider it. The limit is capacity data: chuck size, table dimensions and quill travel never appear.

Who it's for

Shops that drill a mix of materials and want to change speed electronically get a stand-alone machine with a repeatable readout. A benchtop user, or someone needing chuck and table sizes spelled out, should check the maker's sheet first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Electronic variable speed
  • LED digital speed readout
  • Laser cross hairs for alignment
  • Cast iron and steel build
Cons
  • Chuck capacity unstated
  • Table size missing
  • Heavy floor-standing machine

Performance notes

Electronic control changes spindle speed without moving a belt, and the readout shows the setting so a speed can be repeated. The laser cross hairs mark the bit's path on the workpiece. A heavy cast iron frame damps vibration, which helps hole accuracy.
