15" Wilton VS Series Variable Speed Drill Press | 6" Stroke | 400–5000 RPM

Wilton 15" VS Series Variable Speed Drill Press

Infinitely Variable RPM | 6" Stroke | Heavy-Duty Industrial Build

Overview

The Wilton 15" VS Series is a premier industrial drill press, prized for its mechanical variable speed drive and robust cast-iron construction. Designed for high-precision metalworking, this machine allows operators to change speeds instantly with the turn of a handwheel—no belt swaps required. Its standout feature is a massive 6-inch spindle travel, nearly double the stroke of standard 15-inch models, making it ideal for deep-hole drilling and heavy jigs.
