Axminster Professional AP340PD Bench Pillar Drill - 230V

The AP340PD packs all the features of its larger cousins into a slightly more compact size. This professional pillar drill is strong, reliable and accurate. Built mainly using cast iron and precision machined for consistent performance. The quill is 2MT and fitted with a quality 1mm to 16mm keyless chuck. Powered by a smooth running 550W induction motor, it has 12 belt speeds between 210 and 2,580rpm. The belts are of the multi-vee type, for maximum grip and the lowest level of vibration. The belt cover has a safety switch to prevent the drill being run with the cover open. The down feed is via a one-piece cast iron handle with soft rubber grips. There is an accurate drilling depth control. The chuck guard is electrically interlocked for safety and is easily adjustable for height. The on/off switch has a separate locking emergency stop switch, plus a switch for the integrated LED work light. Table height is controlled via a rack and pinion; the whole table assembly can be swivelled away to allow the base to be used as a work support. A great choice for any professional or educational workshop. Please note, morticing attachments are not suitable for this machine.
