Power Downfeed for Production Drilling
The GHD-20PFT's power downfeed system is designed for repetitive drilling operations where consistent spindle movement is important. Operators can select from three feed rates, allowing the machine to be adjusted according to the material, tooling, and drilling requirements.
An additional calibrated fine downfeed provides more precise control when a controlled feed is preferred. The automatic spindle travel is 4-1/4 inches, while manual spindle travel is 4-1/2 inches.
Drilling and Tapping Capability
This drill press is built to handle both drilling and tapping without requiring a separate machine. The integrated controls provide convenient switching between drilling and tapping functions, including spindle reversing for tapping operations.
The machine can drill up to 1-1/4 inches in mild steel and 1-1/2 inches in cast iron. Its tapping capacity is rated at 15/16 inch in both mild steel and cast iron.
Geared-Head Design and Speed Selection
The geared-head configuration provides direct mechanical power transmission for heavy-duty machining. The GHD-20PFT offers 12 spindle speeds from 60 to 3,000 RPM, giving operators a broad range of choices for different drill sizes, materials, and machining conditions.
The 2 HP, two-speed, 230V three-phase motor provides the power needed for demanding industrial drilling and tapping applications.
Large Worktable and Rigid Construction
A 21-3/4 x 19-1/2-inch T-slotted table provides substantial workspace for positioning larger components and fixtures. The table has a rated capacity of 275 lb, while its 25-1/2-inch travel allows the work surface to be positioned for different drilling locations.
The 4-1/2-inch-diameter column and heavy cast-iron construction contribute to the machine's rigidity, helping maintain stability during demanding drilling operations.
Operator Convenience
JET incorporates several features to simplify machine setup and operation. A built-in spindle lock assists with tooling changes, while the head can tilt left or right for angled drilling. The easily accessible table raiser makes table positioning more convenient during setup.
The machine also includes a T-slotted worktable, drill chuck arbor, and drawbar as standard equipment.
