18-Inch Gear Head Bench Drill Press

The 18-Inch Gear Head Bench Drill Press all-gear head driven transmission delivers full power at any speed, driving the cutting tools at nearly 100% of the available horsepower. To ensure positive, quiet operation, the bench drill uses combined steel and reinforced fibers. The ground steel clutches enhance its performance and strength.

Extreme Drilling from Guhring

Designed for extreme drilling in steels, Guhring’s RT100 XF drill family delivers. The carbide grade developed for the RT100 XF balances hardness and toughness. Polished flutes improve chip evacuation, reducing machining temperature and protecting the cutting edges. The micro-geometry honing process ensures a uniform hone resulting in a stable and efficient cutting edge.
