Technical Description

The ERLO BTCE.45 Upright Drill Press is engineered for heavy-duty drilling tasks with a notable capacity to drill mild steel up to 1.77 inches (45 mm) in diameter. It features a robust 7.09-inch (180 mm) diameter column supporting a large 25.6-inch (650 mm) tiltable and rotating table that provides versatile positioning for various workpieces. The spindle-to-column distance of 14.17 inches (360 mm) and a maximum height from the table to the spindle of 31.5 inches (800 mm) allow for accommodating sizable workpieces. It offers a maximum drilling depth of 9.45 inches (240 mm), enabling deep hole drilling. The drill press incorporates a spindle feed clutch with electromagnetic engagement, ensuring smooth, precise control over drilling feeds, which are available in increments of 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40 mm/rev (approximately 0.004 to 0.016 inches per revolution). The spindle speed range spans from 68 to 1270 RPM, offering flexibility for various drilling applications and materials. Although motor power is not explicitly specified, similar ERLO models typically feature motors around 2.2 kW. The spindle taper is expected to be a Morse Taper 4 (MK4), consistent with other machines in this series. Tapping capacity specifics are not detailed for the BTCE.45, but comparable models handle taps up to M32–M36 size. This drill press combines power, precision, and adaptability, designed for professional industrial use demanding reliable and accurate drilling and tapping operations.
