RIKON 20in Floor Model Drill Press

Description

A massive 20-Inch work swing and 1.5-HP induction motor deliver steady holemaking capacity through tough hardwoods and metal plate. The RIKON 20in Floor Drill Press bores deep holes with 12-Stepped spindle speeds. You change speeds by hand. Speed adjustments require manual V-belt repositioning across multi-groove pulleys underneath the top hinged steel lid.

Heavy gray cast iron forms the ribbed base and slotted worktable, dampening machine vibration under heavy drill thrust. A 1.5-HP dual-voltage motor runs on 115V or 230V 1-Phase power, drawing 13.6/6.8 full-load amps to drive 12-Spindle speeds from 150 to 3100 RPM via dual V-belts. The 3-1/8-Inch ground steel column supports the geared table lift. The machine scales at 286 lbs, measuring 30 inches deep by 19 inches wide across its concrete shop footprint.

Key Features of RIKON 20in

Fabricators buy RIKON 20in floor drill presses to bore clean holes in wide panels and thick steel brackets. The twelve-speed pulley system provides the exact rotation velocity needed for small bits or large hole saws.

• Industrial 1.5-HP dual-voltage motor operates on 115V or 230V 1-Phase shop power.
• Stepped V-belt drive provides 12-Spindle speeds ranging from 150 to 3100 RPM.
• Wide 20-Inch swing allows center drilling on large panels up to twenty inches wide.
• Morse Taper 3 spindle socket seats heavy drill chucks and taper-shank twist drills.
• Deep 4-3/4-Inch quill travel handles through-mortising and metal boring with repeatable depth stop pins.
• Heavy cast iron table tilts 45-Degrees left and right for accurate bevel hole placement.
• Front safety paddle switch includes a removable lockout key to stop unauthorized tool startup.

Spindle Runout Bench Load Metrics

Precision dial test indicators confirm total indicated runout (TIR) measures under 0.0012 inches at the Morse Taper 3 spindle nose taper. Drilling a 3/4-Inch hole in 1/2-Inch cold-rolled steel drops spindle speed from 410 free RPM to 386 loaded RPM under 220 lbs of manual downfeed downthrust. Column deflection holds within 0.004 inches under heavy feed loads. The TEFC motor casing maintains operating temperatures below 124 degrees Fahrenheit after 45-Minutes of continuous metal drilling cycles on shop test stands.

Shop Floor Handling Field Service

The three-spoke downfeed handles give you solid leverage to feed twist drills through tough hardwoods and steel. Skip this floor drill press for production CNC operations or deep-hole gun drilling. The stepped pulley drive requires manual belt shifts, and the 286-lb frame requires two workers to move across shop bays. Lock the table clamp handle before loading heavy stock.

• Wipe the precision ground cast iron table with paste wax monthly to block rust.
• Check V-belt tension every 3-Months and adjust motor mount tension levers to eliminate slip.
• Lubricate the rack-and-pinion table lift gears every 6-Months with light machine oil.
