Workshop Machinery – Jet JDP-15B Bench Pillar Drill

Description

The Jet JDP-15B is a bench mounted pillar drill especially designed for the woodworker. Key features include a generous 80mm of quill travel with one turn of the handle and an integrated depth stop for repeat accuracy of drilling depth. Efficient, Poly-V drive belts give smooth, vibration free running with maximum power transmission.

There is also a one handed, tool free belt tensioning system which allows simple and easy speed changing. The ABS top belt guard is held magnetically and has an interlocking switch for safety. The table is extra-large and surface ground cast iron with ample clamping slots and a sacrificial insert. The precision ground table easily tilts to 45° L and R and has an adjustment to ensure squareness to the chuck centre line. The table height is adjusted by a smooth rack and pinion system, with the control handle being canted away from the table for hand clearance.

The 0.55kW induction motor is firmly bolted to the headstock, avoiding flexing and vibration. A bright, tiltable LED work light is recessed into the headstock casting, plus there is a cross hair laser system for centre finding. A comprehensive depth stop system allows precision blind hole drilling which is accurate every time. This machine has been designed to do more to meet the demands of the woodworker, with ample work support, drilling depth and size capacities. Smooth running and with many unique features, this is a really nice pillar drill, designed to perform.
