The Steel City 17" Drill Press boasts features that separate it from the competition. Take advantage of the extra long quill travel. With its 6" stroke, you can drill 30% deeper than most drill presses in this class which allows for the extra depth required to accommodate jigs and fixtures. Unlike its competition, the Split Head Casting design gives you the ability to compensate for wear and insure accuracy of the quill assembly over the life of the machine. The new industrial paddle type on/off safety switch provides increased visibility and operator safety. The switch can also be locked to prevent unauthorized use.
