Description
Overview
The JET J-2550 is a 20 inch floor-model drill press with a 1 HP motor on 115/230V single-phase power and 12 spindle speeds from 150 to 4,200 RPM. It is built for shops that want a stable, accurate drill press for general hole work.
The 20 inch swing reaches the center of a 20 inch circle, and the MT-3 spindle carries a 4-3/4 inch stroke for deep-hole drilling.
