Belt Driven Drill Presses

When it comes to Drill Presses, the most commonly used Drill Press is a single-spindle, floor-mounted, belt-driven machine for non-production drilling. This type of Drill Press is used by machinists and enthusiasts for drilling holes in various materials. Unlike direct-drive Drill Presses, these machines employ a system of pulleys and belts to transmit power from the motor to the spindle, providing enhanced torque and versatility in drilling applications.

Although Drill Presses are used mainly for drilling holes, they can also be used for enlarging holes with a boring tool or finishing holes with a reamer. With the aid of a special tapping attachment and a tap, they can also produce threads in a hole.
