This refined material is rust-proof and statically very solid. Fittings and feeds are machined on CNC controlled machines (milled, line-bored, lathed, etc.). Practical height adjustment is achieved via a toothed rack with an easy-to-operate crank. The table features a ribbed base and a milled work area with T-slots. The column is bright nickel-plated. It is powered by a long-life 230V permanent magnet motor. The quill is driven via a belt and three step pulleys, yielding a torque multiplication of as much as 6x at the lowest speed. The quill feed for exact operations runs in ball bearings. The spindle features a 1/2" thread and accepts the industrial standard ROHM chuck. Key Features:
- Height adjustment easily altered with headstock lock lever
- Table features ribbed base and milled work area with T-slots
- Permanent magnet motor
- Max drill bit size 10mm
- Three speeds: 1,080, 2,400, and 4,500rpm
