1-1/4-Inch Drilling Capacity
The GHD-20 is designed to drill holes up to 1-1/4 inches in diameter, providing substantial capacity for professional metalworking applications.
It can be used for drilling suitable:
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Cast iron
- Fabricated metal components
- Structural materials
Actual drilling performance depends on the workpiece material, drill type, hole diameter, spindle speed, feed rate, and cutting fluid.
2 HP Three-Phase Motor
A 2 HP three-phase motor provides the drive power required for demanding drilling operations.
The three-phase configuration is well suited to professional workshops and industrial facilities where three-phase electrical service is available. It provides a robust power source for repeated drilling operations and larger-diameter holes.
The GHD-20 is configured for 230V only, so the available electrical supply should be confirmed before installation.
12-Speed Geared Head
The machine features a 12-speed geared-head transmission, giving operators a broad selection of spindle speeds.
Multiple speeds allow the operator to match spindle rotation to the:
- Drill diameter
- Workpiece material
- Cutting-tool type
- Required hole size
- Recommended cutting speed
The geared-head design provides direct mechanical power transmission to the spindle and is intended for heavy-duty metalworking applications.
Heavy-Duty Floor-Standing Design
The GHD-20 is designed as a floor-standing drill press, providing a stable working platform for larger workpieces.
Its rigid construction helps minimize unwanted movement during drilling. Proper workholding remains essential, particularly when using larger drill bits or machining heavy components.
Professional Metalworking Performance
The combination of a 1-1/4-inch drilling capacity and 2 HP motor makes the GHD-20 suitable for applications that exceed the capabilities of many light-duty bench drill presses.
Its 12-speed configuration also provides greater flexibility when switching between different materials and drill sizes.
Typical Applications
The JET GHD-20 is suitable for:
- Machine shops
- Metal fabrication
- Industrial maintenance
- Welding and fabrication
- Equipment repair
- Manufacturing facilities
- General machining
- Job-shop operations
- Production support
- Structural metalworking
Common Uses
Large-Hole Drilling
Produce larger holes in metal components using suitable drills and recommended cutting parameters.
Fabrication Work
Drill mounting holes and other openings in fabricated assemblies.
Maintenance and Repair
Prepare replacement components or repair parts for industrial machinery and equipment.
General Machine-Shop Work
Handle routine drilling operations across a variety of metalworking materials.
Repetitive Drilling
The rigid geared-head design and multiple spindle speeds make the machine suitable for repeated drilling operations in professional environments.
Benefits for Professional Users
1-1/4-Inch Drilling Capacity
Provides the capacity needed for substantial metal-drilling applications.
2 HP Drive System
Supplies adequate power for demanding drilling operations within the machine's rated capacity.
Three-Phase Motor
Designed for professional and industrial electrical environments.
230V-Only Configuration
Provides a dedicated electrical configuration for facilities equipped with compatible 230V three-phase service.
12 Spindle Speeds
Allows operators to select an appropriate speed for different materials and drill diameters.
Geared-Head Transmission
Provides positive mechanical power transfer and a robust drive arrangement for metalworking.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance helps maintain drilling accuracy and extend machine service life.
- Inspect drill bits and tooling before each use.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and properly installed.
- Check spindle operation and tool retention.
- Inspect the geared-head transmission for unusual noise or vibration.
- Lubricate components according to JET's maintenance recommendations.
- Keep the table and work area clean.
- Remove metal chips regularly.
- Inspect electrical components and controls periodically.
- Check machine mounting and structural components for looseness.
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing or performing maintenance.
Safety Considerations
Always wear appropriate eye protection, hearing protection, safety footwear, and task-specific PPE when operating the drill press.
Secure the workpiece with a suitable vise, clamp, or fixture. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling.
Keep hands, loose clothing, jewelry, and hair away from the rotating spindle and tooling.
Remove the chuck key and other setup tools before starting the machine.
Use the appropriate drill, spindle speed, feed rate, and cutting fluid for the material being machined. Do not force the drill through the workpiece.
Because this model is specified for 230V three-phase power, electrical installation should be completed by appropriately qualified personnel in accordance with applicable electrical requirements.
Disconnect and isolate the machine from its electrical supply before changing tooling, making adjustments that expose moving components, or performing maintenance.
