Why Choose Belt-Driven Drill Presses
The biggest reason to buy a Belt-Driven Drill Press is the low cost of this type of Drill Press compared to a Gear Driven or Variable Speed Drill Press. Belt-Driven Drill Presses are a lot less inexpensive and more readily available. They are easier to use and don’t require a lot of space or power to operate.
The second reason to buy a Belt-Driven Drill Press is that it can come as a bench-top Drill Press which for some hobbyists and smaller shops space-saving is a MUST.
Lastly, most Belt-Driven Drill Presses come in 110V which means you can run it from any residential outlet.
Key Features of Our Belt-Driven Drill Presses
All of our Baileigh Industrial Belt-Driven Drill Presses operate with a 1/2 horsepower motor which only requires 110-volt power and will work at virtually any shop or site. They have maximum capacity of drilling 5/8” steel and the belts can be adjusted anywhere between 3 and 5 speeds in the range from 250 to 2900 rpm to suit your application.
The heavy-duty steel column eliminates flexing even when drilling at full capacity, and the rigid cast iron base and table add strength to the drill’s structure. The included safety shield around the drill will protect you while in operation. Baileigh backs these Drill Press machines with a 1-year parts warranty and lifetime technical support by phone from our experienced team.

If your requirements are for speed changes and being able to work on many types of materials, we’ll suggest you go with one of the Baileigh Variable-Speed Drill Presses.
