The South Bend SB1115 is a 21-inch variable-speed gearhead drill press built for demanding metalworking and production drilling. With a 1-1/2 HP motor, gearhead design, and variable speed ranges from low-RPM torque for metal up to 2500 RPM, it is made to handle larger holes with strong, consistent performance.
This machine offers precise control for accurate, repeatable results, including coarse and fine downfeed, a depth stop, forward and reverse spindle operation, and a digital speed display. The gear-driven head, MT#3 spindle, and 5-inch spindle travel help it tackle tougher drilling jobs in steel and cast iron with confidence.
Designed for professional shops, fabrication work, and serious industrial users, it also features a large cast-iron table, 360-degree table and head positioning, and powered or hand-crank table elevation for flexible setup. It is a strong choice for machinists and metalworkers who need power, precision, and versatility in one floor-standing drill press.
