Technical Description

The ALZMETALL AX 2/S Upright Drill Press is a robust bench drilling machine designed for precision and durability, featuring a swing of 9.84 inches and a throat depth of 9.84 inches (250 mm), allowing effective drilling close to the column. It offers a bore capacity of approximately 0.71 inches (18 mm) in mild steel and up to 0.91 inches (23 mm) in cast iron, with a bore stroke (spindle travel) of about 3.94 inches (100 mm). Powered by a 1.34 HP motor, the machine runs at a fixed speed of 2,400 RPM, optimized for consistent drilling performance. The spindle uses a Morse Taper No. 2 (MT2), supporting quick tool changes with a 3 mm to 16 mm quick-action chuck. The table size is roughly 9.8 x 9.8 inches (250 x 250 mm), featuring a 360-degree rotation and a vertical adjustment range of 12.8 inches (325 mm), facilitating diverse workpiece positioning. The machine's column diameter is about 3.54 inches (90 mm), providing sturdy support, and the base plate measures approximately 12.6 x 9.8 inches (320 x 250 mm). Total weight is roughly 397 lbs (180 kg), reflecting solid construction for stable operation. The overall machine dimensions are approximately 35.4 x 23.6 x 43.3 inches (900 x 600 x 1100 mm). Feed is manual, and the design supports threading in steel up to M10 and in cast iron up to M14. Some variants may include digital RPM displays and variable-speed drives, but the AX 2/S model typically features the fixed-speed setup described. This drill press is suitable for demanding workshop and industrial use requiring precise upright drilling capabilities.
