POWERMATIC PM2800 18” Variable Speed Drill Press
The PM2800 18” Drill
Press has all of the
capacity and features
you need in a solid
accurate, value-laden
package.
The POWERMATIC 18" Drill Press has been designed from the ground up
to exceed the norm in modern drill presses. Everything from our shadow-
busting dual LED work lights to the dual laser guide system, one-handle
variable speed, expandable work table and class-leading horsepower make
the POWERMATIC PM2800 18" Drill Press exceptionally capable and user
friendly.
The extensive use of high-end iron castings and heavy-duty steel
components make the POWERMATIC 18" Drill Press as durable as it is
versatile. The 3 1/8”-diameter steel column, over-sized quill and cast iron
table system provide the rigidity that makes this an exceptionally accurate
and repeatable drill press. The all cast iron 11 7/8” by 19 5/8” base
contributes to that stability and the vibration-dampening 287-pound overall
weight. In addition, the base comes with holes in each corner for securing
the POWERMATIC 18" Drill Press to a suitable floor. It also has a pair of
slots in the machined center section for attaching work holding devices.
Capacities
The 68”-tall by 31.5”-deep and 23.5”-wide overall dimensions are
the result of design criteria specifying capacities that make the
POWERMATIC PM2800 18" Drill Press an exceptionally useful
and versatile machine. In addition to the full 18” swing, the
POWERMATIC 18" Drill Press has a chuck to base clearance of
46” and a maximum chuck to table capacity of 30”!
The combination of class-leading power, capacities and a unique
blend of user friendly features make the POWERMATIC 18" Drill
Press a machine that easily and accurately handles your drilling needs.
The combination of an 18” swing,
the large vertical capacity and the
expandable table make working
with large pieces easy and safe on
the PM2800 Drill Press.
The full 1 HP motor (left) and control panel (right) make
controlling the PM2800 for your job easy. The green pilot light
in the center of the red pull On, push Off button is an indication
that the PM2800 is connected to electrical current.
Power Controlled
The POWERMATIC 18" Drill Press is
powered by a heavy-duty 1HP, 1Ph,
115/230V, 15/8-amp, TEFC (totally enclosed
fan cooled) motor to be sure you have plenty
of power for the tough jobs. The motor, rated
using a continuous duty cycle rather than the
“peak” or “max developed” formulas, is the
most powerful in this class. The motor comes
pre-wired for 115V power but can be
converted to use 230V.
