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
- Electronic variable speed
- LED digital speed readout
- Laser cross hairs for alignment
- Cast iron and steel build
- 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.
