ERLO S.30/HDB UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The ERLO S.30/HDB Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty machine designed for industrial and workshop drilling applications with a maximum drilling capacity of 1.18 inches (30 mm) in mild steel and tapping capacity up to M25. It features a robust cast iron construction for the head, base, and column, ensuring stability and vibration-free operation. The spindle employs a Morse Taper #3 (MT3) and offers a 4.7-inch (120 mm) stroke for deep drilling. Driven by a motor delivering 1.1 to 1.5 kW (1.5 to 2.0 HP), the drill press provides variable speed settings—belt-driven models include up to 10 speeds ranging approximately from 245 to 4000 RPM, while gear-driven variants offer 8 speeds between 65 and 3060 RPM. The feed is typically manual, with the S.30 model using belt drive and manual feed for precise user control. The 3.94-inch (100 mm) diameter column supports a distance of 9.84 inches (250 mm) from spindle to column, offering ample workspace. The table measures 11.8 by 10.6 inches (300 x 270 mm) with adjustable height and 360° rotation for versatile positioning, and the base dimensions are approximately 23.6 by 15 inches (600 x 380 mm). Safety and convenience features include an adjustable depth stop, drill guard with micro switch, light equipment, emergency stop button, tool ejector, and optional coolant system and digital readouts. Overall machine weight varies between roughly 190 and 260 kg depending on configuration. This drill press combines precision engineering, durability, and operator safety suited for professional metalworking environments.
