The ALZMETALL ALZSTAR 23/S Upright Drill Press is a robust column drilling machine designed for precision and durability. It features a swing of 9.84 inches (250 mm) and a drilling capacity in mild steel (E335/St 60) of 0.91 inches (23 mm). Powered by a motor delivering approximately 1.25 to 1.34 horsepower, it operates with a mechanical variator allowing infinitely variable spindle speeds up to 4,300 RPM. The spindle utilizes a Morse Taper 2 (MT2) and offers a travel (Z-travel) of about 3.94 inches (100 mm). The distance from spindle to column measures roughly 9.84 inches, while the column diameter is approximately 3.54 inches (90 mm). The drill head can extend up to 24.6 inches (625 mm), accommodating various workpiece sizes. The feed is manual, with a motor shaft speed selectable between 750 and 1500 RPM, translating into adjustable spindle speeds for versatile operation. The table measures roughly 12.6 x 9.84 inches (320 x 250 mm), featuring two T-slots each 0.55 inch (14 mm) wide, spaced 6.3 inches (160 mm) apart for secure workpiece clamping. Safety features include a lockable main switch, emergency stop button, overload protection, and electrically secured spindle protection. The motor housing complies with IP54 protection class and uses class F insulation rated for 155°C. This drill press weighs approximately 385.81 lbs (175 kg) and is finished in signal white (RAL 9003) with black accents, suitable for workshop durability and aesthetics. It balances power, precision, and safety for demanding bench or column drilling applications.
