Delta 15-342 15" Production Drill Press, 6" Stroke, 115V / 230V

The Delta 15-342 is a 15 inch Production Drill Press. The drill press has extra-large spindle bearings 6 PLUS 6 inch and VS6 inch spindle and spindle pulley are supported by four over-sized, pre-loaded, lubrcated-for-life ball bearings. VS6 has the same excellent construction, plus an extra bearing below the spindle pulley. This fine combination of features assures freedom from chatter, long, maintenance-free life and maximum pressure at the drill point. It features wide, test-proven speed range which gives a true 10-to-1 speed ratio. The drill press will give the exact speed needed for every drilling job on any material 450 to 4700 RPM with a 1725 RPM motor and 300 to 3100 RPM with an 1140 RPM motor. Quick belt tension release is provided by the pivoting motor mounting plate which has a reverse, self-locking taper on the spring loaded, rubber-tipped plunger that quickly restores correct belt tension. Extra-long quill travel gives the extra depth needed for deep-hole jobs like skip and gang drilling and the extra stroke required for clearing jigs and fixtures. Efficient variable-speed drive select any spindle speed instantly while machine is running. A self-locking cam, plus a snubber feature, hold speed settings constant under all load conditions. Proper belt tension is automatically maintained for full power transmission.  more
