Description
Overview
The JET JDP-20MF is a 20 inch floor-model drill press with a 1-1/2 HP motor on 115/230V single-phase power and a variable speed range of 150 to 4,200 RPM. It is built for shops that need accurate, repeatable hole work across a range of materials.
The 20 inch swing reaches the center of a 20 inch circle, and the MT-3 spindle carries 4-5/8 inches of quill travel for deeper drilling. Twelve spindle speeds and a quick-adjustment motor mount let you change feeds without fighting the belts, while the cast iron table and column hold the work steady for clean results.
