Product Description
The JET J-A5816 15" Variable Speed Floor Model Drill Press delivers professional-grade drilling performance through a continuously variable transmission system paired with a scale-marked handwheel speed adjustment. Designed for demanding workshop and industrial applications, this floor model combines a wide 400-5,000 RPM speed range with robust construction features - including a large 2-1/4" quill and a 3" column diameter - to provide the rigidity and precision required for accurate, repeatable drilling in cast iron, mild steel, and beyond.
Key Features
- Handwheel speed adjustment spanning 400-5,000 RPM allows precise control and the ability to change speed during operation
- Large 2-1/4" quill for greater accuracy on every drilling pass
- 6" stroke for deep hole applications
- 3" column diameter for maximum head support and machine stability
- Full bearing support on quill for maximum spindle stiffness
- Variable-speed motor with stepped-pulley system and continuously variable transmission for a wide range of usable speeds
- Scale-marked handwheel mounted to a reduction gearing system for precise operator speed control
- Tensioner pulley in the belt transmission takes up or releases slack as speed changes
- 1/2" drill chuck and arbor included

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the spindle speed range on the J-A5816?
- The J-A5816 offers a handwheel speed adjustment of 400-5,000 RPM. The scale-marked handwheel connects to a reduction gearing system, allowing the operator to dial in precise speeds and even change speed while the machine is in operation.
- Can this drill press handle deep hole applications?
- Yes. The J-A5816 features a 6" stroke specifically suited for deep hole applications, giving operators the reach needed for demanding drilling tasks in a variety of materials.
- What makes the quill design on this machine beneficial for accuracy?
- The J-A5816 uses a large 2-1/4" quill combined with full bearing support on the quill assembly. This configuration provides maximum spindle stiffness, which directly contributes to greater accuracy and consistent hole quality during drilling operations.
- What drilling capacities does the J-A5816 support?
- The J-A5816 has a drilling capacity of 5/8" in cast iron and 1/2" in mild steel, making it well suited for a broad range of metalworking and fabrication tasks. The 3" column diameter provides the head support necessary to handle these capacities with stability.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
It is important to assess the product being shipped against your location and material-handling capabilities.
Please be aware that your location needs to be prepared to properly handle and sign for freight shipments. You need to have access to a dock location, a forklift or the ability to unload the product from the freight carrier's trailer.
If your location does not have a traditional loading dock or forklift to unload your LTL freight out of the trailer, a Lift gate service will be required. There will be an additional charge for the service. It varies by carrier and even by market with different carriers. It often depends on the supply and demand of lift gate equipped trucks in your area.
Some machines require Flatbed shipping. There will be an additional charge for this service. Flatbed shipping is for the transportation of cargo that cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.
If a shipment is too heavy or the footprint (i.e., panel saws, metalworking lathes, mill/drills) is too large to ship via small parcel carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx), it is shipped via a freight carrier. Freight shipments are considered tail gate deliveries, meaning that the driver is only responsible for moving the shipment to the rear of the trailer and will not assist with unloading.
For non-commercial deliveries, the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window and confirm if lift gate services are required. If lift gate service is requested, the driver is responsible for lowering the product to the ground during delivery. Freight shipments delivered to a residential location are considered curb side deliveries, meaning the driver will make the delivery in the street at the end of the customer’s driveway. Freight Carriers are not required to enter driveways to make residential deliveries due to liability and safety issues.
Although most deliveries go smoothly, sometimes there are exceptions beyond our control. Machines weighing over 2,000 pounds, bulky and oversized machines with a large footprint may not be able to be delivered via a lift gate for risk of injury or damage to the machine. There are also inaccessible remote, residential or high density urban areas that freight carriers cannot safely access. If encountered, such shipments are available for dock delivery or will be required to be picked up from the carrier’s terminal.
