MEW 25 / 250 HD UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The MEW 25/250 HD Upright Drill Press is a precision metalworking machine designed for accurate drilling operations in various materials. This stationary drill features a 20.8-inch swing capacity with differential drilling capabilities: 1.17 inches in mild steel and 0.98 inches in cast iron, making it suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Operating at 1,400 RPM with eight selectable spindle speeds, the machine provides versatility for different material thicknesses and drilling requirements. The unit employs an MT-3 spindle taper with 9.45 inches (240 mm) of quill movement, enabling controlled depth penetration for precision hole placement. Constructed entirely from cast iron, the drill press features a robust base measuring approximately 24.8 x 15.9 inches (630 x 405 mm), ensuring stability during operation. The machine weighs 275 pounds, providing substantial mass for vibration dampening and consistent performance. Powered by approximately 1.5 kW (2 HP) electric motor operating at 50 Hz, the drill press accommodates both single-phase and three-phase electrical configurations depending on the installation. The design prioritizes precision metalworking applications, with the cast iron construction absorbing vibrations to maintain accuracy across extended drilling cycles. This industrial-grade machine is ideal for tool rooms, fabrication shops, and manufacturing facilities requiring reliable, repeatable drilling performance.
