Technical Description

The IBERDRILL BX-40 Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty floor drill designed for precise and robust metalworking applications. It features a powerful 3 hp (2.2 kW) spindle motor operating at up to 2,222 RPM, allowing it to efficiently drill through mild steel up to 1.57 inches and cast iron up to 1.77 inches. The machine incorporates a gear head drive system with nine speed steps, providing a spindle speed range suitable for various drilling tasks. The quill has a 4MT taper and offers 6.88 inches of travel, enhancing drilling depth capabilities. With a column diameter of 5.91 inches and a spindle-to-work surface adjustable range from 1.97 to 27.2 inches, it provides ample working space and flexibility for different workpiece sizes. The adjustable worktable measures 18.9 by 22.05 inches, equipped with 1/2-inch T-slots for secure mounting. The base spans 31.5 by 18.8 inches, supporting the 1,081-pound machine for stability. It supports three-phase 230 or 460 V power inputs. The feed mechanism includes three automatic feed rates—0.0039, 0.0079, and 0.0118 inches per revolution—controlled via an electromagnetic clutch quill feed system, with manual fine-feed capability available. Safety and operational features include an E-Stop switch, depth scale with adjustable stop, automatic tool ejector, built-in work light, and low-voltage electrical equipment housed in the head. Gearbox lubrication is managed by an automatic pump, and high-quality hardened steel gears ensure durability. This drill press is engineered for precision, versatility, and heavy industrial use.
