The ERLO MSV.18 Upright Drill Press is a robust industrial-grade machine designed for precision drilling and tapping with a maximum capacity of 0.71 inches (18 mm) in mild steel and a tapping capability up to M14 (approximately 0.55 inches). It features a CM3 Morse taper spindle, allowing compatibility with standard MT3 tooling. The spindle stroke is 4.72 inches (120 mm), providing sufficient depth for various drilling operations. The drill press table measures 10.63 x 10.63 inches (270 x 270 mm), offering a stable work surface. The sturdy column has a diameter of 3.94 inches (100 mm) and maintains a 9.84-inch (250 mm) distance from spindle center to column face, enabling machining of larger workpieces comfortably. The spindle speed is variable, ranging from 245 to 4000 RPM, powered by a 1.4 HP motor, which ensures versatile performance across different materials and drill bit sizes. Constructed with cast iron elements, the machine offers durability and vibration reduction for improved accuracy and lifespan. Weighing 551 lbs (approximately 250 kg), the ERLO MSV.18 is engineered for heavy-duty workshop applications, balancing power, precision, and build quality. Its design supports manual feed operations and is suited for both maintenance workshops and small-scale production environments requiring reliable drilling and tapping performance.
