Baileigh DP-1850G Drill Press
The Baileigh DP-1850G is a powerful industrial-grade gear-driven drill press that delivers exceptional drilling and tapping performance for fabrication shops and machine shops that demand precision, power, and reliability in their daily operations.
Looking for a drill press that won't back down from your toughest jobs? The DP-1850G is built to handle the heavy-duty drilling and tapping tasks that would make lesser machines struggle. With its robust 2 HP motor and gear-driven design, this industrial powerhouse gives you the muscle you need to tackle large workpieces with confidence.
What makes this drill press stand out is its intelligent design. The massive column and heavy cast steel base work together to virtually eliminate flexing—even when you're drilling at full capacity. This means you get consistent, accurate results every single time, whether you're working with mild steel, aluminum, or other demanding materials. The 26-3/4" swing capacity means you can work with larger pieces without the frustration of repositioning or making compromises.
The gear-driven head offers 12 speed settings ranging from 90 to 2,425 RPM, giving you precise control to match the perfect speed to your specific material and bit size. This versatility extends tool life and delivers cleaner holes every time. Plus, with the electronic power-down feed system and built-in coolant system, you'll work faster and extend the life of both your tooling and the machine itself. Whether you're running a small fabrication shop or managing a busy machine shop floor, the DP-1850G delivers professional-grade performance at a price point that makes sense for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions
What power supply do I need for the DP1850G?
This drill press requires 400V 3-phase power for EU installations. Make sure your facility has the appropriate electrical service before ordering. If you need assistance determining compatibility, contact a qualified electrician or reach out to Baileigh's technical support team.
Can I drill through stainless steel with this machine?
Absolutely! With its 2 HP motor, gear-driven design, and variable speed control, the DP-1850G handles stainless steel beautifully. Just select the appropriate slower speed for the material, use sharp bits, apply cutting fluid from the built-in coolant system, and let the electronic power feed do the work.
How difficult is installation and setup?
The machine ships fully assembled on a pallet. You'll need a forklift or pallet jack to move it, and due to the 1,200 lb weight, proper lifting equipment is essential. Once positioned, you'll need to bolt it to the floor for stability, connect the 3-phase power, and you're ready to work. Most shops complete installation in 2-4 hours.
What's included in the warranty?
Baileigh backs the DP-1850G with a comprehensive 1-year parts warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Even better, you get lifetime technical support by phone—so if you ever have questions or need guidance, help is just a call away.
Can I use this for production work, or is it better suited for job shop applications?
The DP-1850G excels in both environments. The electronic power feed and coolant system make it ideal for production runs where you need consistent results across multiple pieces. At the same time, the 12-speed versatility and generous capacity make it perfect for job shops that handle varied work. It's designed for daily professional use and built to last for years.
