The ERLO MSE.25 Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty industrial machine engineered for precision drilling and tapping in mild steel, featuring a maximum drilling capacity of 0.984 inches (25 mm) and tapping capacity up to M22 (approximately 0.866 inches). It incorporates a 4.72-inch (120 mm) spindle stroke with a Morse taper MT3 (CM3) for compatibility with standard tooling. The drill press is driven by a 0.8 kW (1.07 HP) motor and offers variable spindle speeds via an electronic speed variator, enabling fine adjustment across a broad RPM range for diverse material applications. The machine’s rigid construction includes a large 3.94-inch (100 mm) diameter cast iron column and a stable 10.63 x 10.63-inch (270 x 270 mm) worktable, positioned 9.84 inches (250 mm) from spindle center to column face to accommodate sizable workpieces. Feed can be manual or automatic, depending on model variant, enhancing operational flexibility. Safety is prioritized with features such as an emergency stop, a drill guard with a micro switch, and low-voltage electrical components to protect operators. Optional accessories including rotating intermediate tables, coolant systems, and digital depth readers expand its functionality, making it suitable for demanding workshop and industrial environments where accuracy and durability are required. Its robust cast iron construction ensures vibration-free operation and long-term reliability in high-volume applications.
