Power and precision in a lightweight, portable drill press with the biggest capacity in its class. At just 26.5 pounds, with a comfortable carrying handle that’s well positioned for balance, this compact drill press is ideal for remote drilling in metal. It handles your toughest drilling applications with a powerful 1.1-maximum horsepower, 9.0-amp motor: up to 1-½-in. diameter holes through 2-in. thick steel with annular cutters, or ½-in. diameter holes 4-¼-in. deep with twist drill bits. The strong two-coil magnet provides 2,300 lbs. of dead-lift force on 1-in. thick steel.  Two hex cutter wrenches are stored on-board for added portability. This drill accepts standard ¾-in. Weldon shank cutters or an optional 3-jaw chuck (sold separately) for use with twist drill bits. The simple two-button control panel is located on the back, where it will not interfere with the feed handle. That handle can be conveniently relocated to the opposite side without using tools.
