The MANEK SEW/S-25 Upright Drill Press is a robust machine designed for precise drilling tasks, featuring a drilling capacity of 0.98 inches (25 mm) in mild steel. It is powered by a 0.7 kW motor delivering 1,800 RPM, enabling efficient and consistent drilling speeds suitable for various applications. The drill press includes a spindle with a Morse taper #3, supported by hardened and ground precision components to ensure accurate and low-tolerance operation. The spindle travel is approximately 250 mm, allowing for substantial depth control. The machine construction includes a heavy-duty steel column and a cast iron table, both adjustable 360° around the column and height-adjustable for flexible machining setups. The gearbox employs helical steel gears meshed with reinforced fiber gears, resulting in high torque transmission, smooth operation, low noise, and minimal maintenance requirements. Safety features include a drill guard with micro switch in compliance with CE standards. The table size is around 345 x 345 mm, providing stable support for workpieces. This drill press is suitable for drilling, tapping (up to M16/M20 in steel/cast iron), and reaming of metals with high precision and efficiency, making it an ideal tool for workshop and industrial use. The machine balances robustness, versatility, and ease of operation.
