ERLO S.18 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The ERLO S.18 upright drill press is a robust, industrial-grade benchtop machine engineered for precision and durability in demanding workshop environments. With a maximum drilling capacity of 0.71 inches (18 mm) in mild steel and a tapping capacity of M14 (approx. 0.55 inches), it is well-suited for a wide range of metalworking tasks. The spindle features a CM3 (3MT) taper and a generous stroke of 4.72 inches (120 mm), allowing for deep drilling operations. The cast-iron construction ensures stability and accuracy, while the adjustable depth scale and stop enhance repeatability. The table measures 10.63 x 10.63 inches (270 x 270 mm), providing ample support for workpieces, and the column diameter is 3.94 inches (100 mm) with a spindle-to-column distance of 9.84 inches (250 mm) for increased rigidity. The machine offers a broad speed range of 245–4000 RPM across 10 belt-driven speeds, enabling optimal performance across various materials and applications. Powered by a 1.4 HP (approx. 1.044 kW) motor and operating on 230V three-phase power, the ERLO S.18 delivers reliable power and efficiency. Manual feed ensures precise control, and the overall net weight of 551 lbs (250 kg) contributes to vibration damping and operational stability. Safety features include a motor guard, emergency stop button, and pulley cover with a stop micro switch.
