Drill Press

Thanks once again to the Shared Features concept, the Shopsmith Drill Press combines extended work-holding capacity, easier speed changes and greater all around versatility to give you what is essentially the only drill press designed specifically for the woodworker. Start with a motor that delivers over two horsepower at an infinitely variable range of speeds from 700 to 5,200 rpm. — without changing belts.
 
Add the fact that its business end is supported twin columns. So, as the headstock and table move independently along the full length of the two way tubes, both remain in perfect alignment with one another, without twisting.

Drill to the center of a piece of stock up to 16-1/2 inch wide. Support your workpiece on the largest, most versatile drill press table you’ll find. Anywhere. At any price. It’s a giant 17-1/2 inch deep by 22 inch wide and comes with standard extensions and outboard support legs that can make it absolutely immense!
 
dpTilt the table from “0” to 90 degrees and lock it firmly in position at both sides with a quick flip of a single lever. Add the MARK V’s rip fence and use the table height wheel to move the table in and out, creating a set-up for drilling a row of shelf pin holes, all equally spaced from the workpiece edge. A tilt of the table produces a V-Block set-up that’s perfect for drilling cylindrical objects or creating screw pockets (a woodworker’s “secret” time-saver for joining the tops to tables, cabinets, etc.).
 
The dual T-shaped slots in the table’s surface accept the Shopsmith Miter Gauge or Featherboard for added workpiece control and precision.
 
When you need more specialized capabilities, Your Shopsmith Drill Press is ready to deliver with a wide range of accessories for drum sanding (both stationary and oscillating type), routing, slot mortising, shaping and even biscuit joining.
