Bench Drill Press for Light Metal Work

The Dayton 2LKU8 is a benchtop drill press built for metal drilling. It runs on 115V AC power with a 1/4 hp direct-drive motor. Variable speed control via an adjustment knob lets the operator match the speed to the material. A 5/32 in keyed chuck holds small-diameter bits securely.

9 5/8 in Swing and 1/8 in Steel Capacity

The 9 5/8 in swing determines the maximum workpiece width that can be centred under the spindle. The spindle-to-column distance of 4 13/16 in sets the practical reach from the column face. Drilling capacity in steel is rated at 1/8 in, so larger holes in metal will exceed the machine’s design limit.

Direct Drive Motor on 115V Supply

The 1/4 hp direct-drive motor connects straight to the spindle without belts or pulleys. Power draw stays modest on a standard 115V AC circuit. No coolant system is fitted, so extended heavy cuts in metal rely on the operator to manage heat. Guard is not included.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/4 hp motor on this bench drill press run on my existing 115V workshop circuit?

Yes, the motor is rated for 115V AC, matching standard household and workshop outlets.

How can I confirm the variable speed control is functioning correctly after assembly?

Turn the speed adjustment knob through its range; the spindle speed should change smoothly without distinct steps.

Does the box include a chuck key for the 5/32 in keyed chuck, or must I buy one separately?

A keyed chuck requires a key to operate; one is typically supplied with the chuck, but verify the included accessories list on arrival.
