Chuck to rear column capacity of this machine is variable from 130 to 420mm due to the sliding horizontal column. There are two columns, the usual standard vertical column that the table is mounted to, then there is a horizontal column as well that the head mounts to, allowing the chuck to be moved radially towards the column, or away from it giving an amazing 420mm column to drill capacity.
The 5 speeds are easily adjusted, by accessing the pulleys by opening the cover on top of the machine, getting the appropriate drill speed for the job. The 1/2 HP motor powers the chuck through the ranges of 500 - 2450 RPM, capable of using drill bits from 3mm to 16mm.
The spindle is fixed, but the chuck can be removed, so the user can swap this out to a 3rd party keyless chuck if so desired. An 80mm travel provides enough scope to cover most jobs asked of it.
The large 300mm diameter table features 6 slots capable of attaching a variety of clamps and jigs easily. Magnetic fences, jigs and feather boards can be used on the cast iron table with great effectiveness.
