Jet 354026 Gear Head Drill Press 2HP 3ph 230V 12 Speeds

Product Description

The JET 354026 is a gear head drill press configured with a power down feed and tapping function, designed for high-demand metal fabrication and industrial drilling applications. It delivers a drilling capacity of 1-1/4 inches and runs on a 2 HP motor drawing 3-phase, 230-volt power. Twelve selectable spindle speeds allow operators to match the cutting speed to the material and bit type without overloading the tool. The gear head drive provides consistent torque delivery across the full speed range, making it well-suited for repetitive production drilling cycles. Installation and operation are intended for trained machine tool technicians in a commercial or industrial shop environment.

This drill press is built for stationary floor installation in production machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance departments. The power down feed automates the plunge rate, reducing operator fatigue and improving hole consistency during high-volume runs. The integrated tapping function allows threaded holes to be cut in a controlled, repeatable manner on the same machine without a secondary setup. Applications include structural steel fabrication, tooling and fixture work, and general metalworking where precision hole placement and depth control are required.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch drilling capacity suited for heavy ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Power down feed with tapping function for repeatable, hands-free plunge control
• 2 HP gear head motor provides sustained torque for production drilling cycles
• 12 selectable speeds allow proper surface footage matching for different materials and bit diameters
• 3-phase, 230-volt electrical configuration for commercial shop power infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as a floor-standing gear head drill press for stationary installation in industrial and commercial machine shop environments requiring 3-phase power.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician and machine tool technician. The machine requires a 3-phase, 230-volt power source and must be properly grounded per NEC requirements before commissioning. Secure the base to the floor using appropriate anchor hardware before operating. Never attempt to connect this unit to single-phase power or operate with guards removed.
