Overview
JET's J-A3816 is a 15-inch floor drill press with 6 spindle speeds, wired for 115/220V single phase, sitting below the J-2500 in speed range within JET's 15-inch floor press line.
With only 6 speed steps against the J-2500's 16, this model offers a narrower range of spindle speeds to choose between, which typically means a bigger jump between adjacent settings.
- 15-inch swing
- 6 spindle speeds
- 115/220V single phase
- Floor-standing design
Who it's for
Fits a buyer who wants a basic 15-inch floor press without needing many intermediate speed settings, such as drilling a narrower range of hole sizes in similar material. Someone switching between many bit sizes and materials would be better served by the 16-speed J-2500.
Pros and cons
- Simpler 6-speed head
- Dual voltage 115/220V wiring
- 15-inch swing matches JET's J-2500
- Fewer speed steps than JET's other floor presses in this group
- No horsepower figure listed in this data
Performance notes
With 6 speed steps instead of 16, the gaps between available speeds are wider, so a given job may land between two settings rather than on the ideal one. The 115/220V wiring keeps it usable on standard or upgraded shop circuits.
