Hitcahi 15" Drill Press, Model B16RM, HP? Speeds?

[Will Patterson]

Hello All,

Anyone know what the motor HP and speeds are for the 15" Hitachi Drill press? The model is B16RM. I tried to find information on Google but it appears that this DP has been disconnected for a few years. Lowes might have sold this for a while and then discontinued it.

Any comments on it? Good, bad? Thanks

I haven't personally seen one, but here's a link to a previous discussion including specs.
