Variable Speed 15 In Floor Drill Press With 1 HP Dual Voltage Motor
JET J-A5816 15" Variable-Speed Floor Drill Press – 1 HP, 115/230V, 1 Phase
Product Overview
The JET J-A5816 is a professional-grade 15-inch variable-speed floor drill press designed for workshops, fabrication areas, maintenance departments, and general machine-shop applications. Its combination of a 1 HP single-phase motor, variable-speed operation, substantial swing, and floor-standing construction provides the flexibility and stability needed for a wide range of drilling tasks.
The variable-speed design allows operators to adjust spindle speed to suit different materials, drill diameters, and cutting conditions. A rigid column, adjustable work table, MT-2 spindle taper, and controlled depth adjustment further support accurate and repeatable drilling.
Key Features
15-inch swing: Provides approximately 7-1/2 inches of clearance from the spindle centerline to the column.
1 HP motor: Provides dependable power for general-purpose and professional drilling applications.
115/230V single-phase motor: Offers flexibility for compatible workshop electrical systems.
Variable-speed operation: Allows spindle speed to be adjusted for different materials and tooling.
MT-2 spindle taper: Accepts compatible drill bits, arbors, and tooling.
3-1/2-inch spindle travel: Provides useful quill movement for deeper drilling operations.
Floor-standing configuration: Provides a stable, dedicated drilling station without requiring a separate bench.
Adjustable work table: Allows the operator to position workpieces at the appropriate height.
T-slotted table: Accommodates compatible clamps and fixtures for improved workholding.
Tilting table: Supports angled drilling applications.
Adjustable depth stop: Helps produce repeatable hole depths.
LED work light: Provides illumination around the drilling area.
Spindle guard: Adds protection around the rotating spindle and chuck.
Rigid construction: Designed to provide stability and reduce unwanted movement during drilling.
Variable-Speed Performance
The J-A5816's variable-speed system provides more flexibility than a fixed-speed drill press. Instead of relying solely on predetermined belt positions, the operator can adjust spindle speed according to the workpiece and tooling.
This is particularly useful when switching between different drill diameters, materials, and hole depths. Lower spindle speeds can be selected for larger drill bits and demanding materials, while higher speeds can be used with smaller tooling when appropriate.
15-Inch Working Capacity
The 15-inch swing provides approximately 7-1/2 inches of clearance between the spindle centerline and column, giving the operator a generous working envelope for positioning larger workpieces.
The floor-model configuration also places the machine at a practical working height while providing a solid foundation. This makes the J-A5816 well suited to workshops where the drill press is expected to remain installed as a dedicated machine.
Adjustable Work Table
The work table can be positioned vertically to accommodate workpieces of varying thicknesses and sizes. Its T-slotted surface allows suitable clamps and fixtures to be used to secure material during drilling.
For angled drilling operations, the table can be adjusted from its standard position to help produce holes at the desired angle.
