For remote drilling in metal, the 4270-20 is a great choice. The entire tool
weighs just 26-1/2 pounds and has a comfortable carrying handle well positioned
for balance, with cutter wrenches stored on-board. This is a very portable machine.
However, power was not sacrificed for portability. This drill press includes
a very powerful 1.1 maximum horsepower, 9.0 amp motor. It can drill up to 1-1/2
in. diameter holes through 2 in. thick steel with annular cutters, or 1/2 in.
diameter holes 4-1/4 in. deep with twist drill bits. The tool is setup to accept
standard 3/4 in. Weldon shank cutters, or an optional 3-jaw chuck is available
for use with twist drill bits. The strong two-coil magnet provides 2,300 lbs.
of deadlift force on 1 in. thick steel. The simple two-button control panel
is located on the back, away from feed handle obstruction. The feed handle can
be conveniently relocated to the opposite side without the use of tools. This
model includes the tool, lubricant spray bottle, nylon safety strap, and two
hex wrenches.
