Drilling

Bench pillar box-column and radial drilling machines from small bench units to large radial arms.

The Problem

What This Category Is Really For

Drilling a hole pattern in a heavy fabrication means either moving the work under a fixed spindle, which needs a crane and takes half a shift, or moving the spindle over the work. That single distinction is why radial drilling machines exist and why bench drills stop being useful above a certain part weight.

  • Bench pillar and box-column machines for light and medium work plus radial arms for heavy fabrications
  • Auto-feed models for repeat drilling without operator fatigue
  • Gear head drives that hold torque at low speed in large diameters
  • A capacity ladder from small bench drills up to large radial machines

FAQ

Drilling Questions

When do I need a radial drilling machine rather than a pillar drill?

When the workpiece is too heavy or too awkward to reposition under a fixed spindle. The radial arm moves the spindle to the hole instead.

What does auto feed give me?

A consistent feed rate that does not vary with the operator, which matters for hole finish, drill life and repeat production work.

How do I specify the machine?

Send us the largest hole diameter in your hardest material and the biggest workpiece you need to reach across. Those two numbers set the model.
