ERLO SR-18 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The ERLO SR-18 upright drill press is a precision-engineered benchtop drilling machine designed for light to medium-duty applications in workshops, maintenance departments, and educational institutions. Featuring a robust cast-iron construction with a 100mm diameter column, this machine delivers reliable performance with an 18mm drilling capacity in mild steel (0.71 inches) and cast iron (0.91 inches). The spindle utilizes a CM3 Morse taper, accommodating standard tooling for versatile drilling operations. Equipped with a 1.4 HP motor producing up to 4000 RPM across ten variable speeds ranging from 245 to 4000 RPM, the SR-18 provides flexibility for drilling various materials efficiently. The compact 270 x 270mm (10.63 x 10.63 inches) worktable offers adequate work surface while maintaining a minimal footprint suitable for space-constrained environments. Manual feed descent ensures operator control during drilling operations, while an adjustable depth stop enhances precision and repeatability. The machine's 250kg (550 lbs) weight ensures stability during extended use. Optional gear-driven transmission variants, such as the SH.18 model, provide enhanced precision for critical applications. Built to industrial specifications with hardened and ground steel components, the ERLO SR-18 exemplifies the manufacturer's commitment to durability and engineering excellence developed over sixty years of specialized drilling and tapping machine production.
