The SB-25AV floor standing pillar drill is an extremely robust machine, capable of drilling 25mm in steel. It is designed for large engineering and production tasks and is capable of being used for prolonged periods. Very heavily built and manufactured to exceptionally accurate tolerances, this pillar drill will stand up to hard work every day. The headstock has been machined to precisely match the quill housing, virtually eliminating any quill housing movement, even at full quill extension. The tolerance of the spindle runout (Quill movement) is + 0.01mm. Because the column is surface ground, the table rise and fall is super smooth in operation, making table height adjustment a light task. There is a 1.5kW induction motor fitted with an inverter for variable speed control. This control also gives a soft start and constant speed regardless of load. A three speed belt drive provides a wide speed range to cover any task. Safety is provided for by a solidly made chuck guard, electrically interlocked, as is the belt cover. A large emergency stop button which locks closed automatically, completes the picture. Lighting is provided by an LED lamp with a flexible stem for ease of placement. There is also a built-in, 14 litre capacity pumped coolant system with the nozzle being provided with a strong magnetic base. Unusually, the table pivots through 360°, with a flat surface with T-slots and coolant channel on one side, a 125mm vice on the other, which can be slid into position on dovetailed guides. This is a high quality floor pillar drill, designed to meet the demands of educational establishments, heavy engineering and production workshops.
