There is only one thing at Powermatic that drives our design process and that’s woodworker’s intuition. In engineering the Powermatic drill press, convenience and intuitiveness were major components in what we wanted the finished product to be. Mechanical variable speed with no belt changes enables a full range of speed. With adjustable material stop that makes repetitive actions fast and accurate, and an oversized cast iron base for added stability, our efforts were culminated in the PM2800B drill press. Get the most accurate indication for tool point with a state of the art laser guide system and an adjustable fence system for a perfect 90 degree relationship to the table for rapid stock alignment. Sound impressive? We thought so too.

Features:

• Mechanical variable speed allows for full range of speed with no belt change
• 6” of quill travel with one revolution of the handle
• Fence system is adjustable for a perfect 90 degree angle to the table
• Adjustable material stop makes repetitive actions accurate and quick
• A digital RPM readout allows user to optimize the spindle speed to the application
• Laser guides provide an accurate indication for tool point entry
• Easy to use keyless chuck makes bit changes faster
• Reversible handles can be mounted on either side of the machine for more comfortable working of the quill
• Two independent LED work lights eliminate shadows
• Work table can be rotated to a full 90 degree position
• Replaceable square table insert with leveling screws make it flush with the top of the table
• Oversize cast iron base for added stability
• Safety key prevents accidental starting
