Spindle travel is the maximum distance the spindle (and attached bit) can move up and down, which determines how deep you can drill in a single pass. A greater spindle travel, such as the 6" offered by the Powermatic PM2820EVS and Powermatic PM2800B, is ideal for deeper holes in thicker materials. Shorter spindle travel is suitable for lighter or more precise work, as with compact drilling tools. The variety of spindle travel options ensures you can select a tool that matches the depth requirements of your projects.
