Built for the most demanding production shops, the Grizzly G0756 27-1/2" Heavy-Duty Gearhead Drill Press delivers the precision, power, and speed you need to tackle any job. This machine is engineered for professionals who require a rock-solid, high-performance drill press capable of handling large-scale projects and materials.
Why a Gearhead Drill Press?
Unlike belt-driven machines, gearhead drill presses are designed for drilling larger holes with less effort. The G0756 features a 1-1/8 HP / 2 HP motor that provides the brute force needed for heavy-duty drilling and tapping. You'll experience superior torque and consistent power, even when working with tough metals.
FEATURES and BENEFITS:
Quick-Change Gearbox Controls: Say goodbye to the hassle of changing belts. The convenient gearbox controls let you quickly change spindle speeds by simply twisting a lever or two. With 18 speeds from 60–1740 RPM, you can instantly find the perfect setting for any material or bit size, saving you valuable time and effort.
Massive, Rigid Construction: A huge 6" column diameter provides the necessary stability to ensure repeatable accuracy, even when drilling large 1-1/2" holes at high speeds. The precision-ground cast-iron table is nearly 2" thick and features a 22" x 22" work surface, giving you ample support for large workpieces.
7" Spindle Travel with Power Downfeed: The MT #4 spindle offers an impressive 7" of travel, along with a 2-speed automatic downfeed for consistent, controlled drilling. You also get a power tapping with an electronic clutch, making thread cutting faster and more precise than ever.
Enhanced Workflow: The built-in LED work light illuminates your workspace, ensuring a clear view of your work. The tooling ejection feature makes bit changes fast and easy, while the built-in coolant system is a vital feature for extending tool life and ensuring a cleaner cut when drilling metal.
