Dayton 16N196 10 in bench drill press
This benchtop drill press handles metal and wood using a 1/3 hp motor on 120V AC. It offers five fixed speeds selected by a step pulley for drilling, countersinking and reaming tasks. The 10 in swing and 5 in spindle-to-column distance suit smaller workpieces. A 1/2 in keyed chuck with 33JT taper holds standard bits.
Check power and bit compatibility before ordering
The machine requires a 120V AC supply and draws power from a 1/3 hp motor. Ensure your workshop circuit can support this voltage. The 33JT spindle taper and 1/2 in keyed chuck determine which bits and arbors fit directly. Verify that your existing tooling matches these specifications. No power down feed or coolant system is included.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
The 1/3 hp motor runs on standard 120V AC household current for typical bench drilling. Belt drive and step pulley operation produce moderate mechanical noise during cuts. No coolant system is fitted, so heat builds in the bit and workpiece during extended steel drilling. Allow the motor and quill to cool between heavy operations.
