New to drill presses? A drill press is used to cut round holes into or through metal, wood, or other materials. Radial Arm models are for large capacity work. Drilling machines use a twist drill tool that has cutting edges at its point. This cutting tool is held in the drill press by a chuck or Morse taper and is rotated and fed into the workpiece. Drilling machines may be used to perform other operations such as countersinking, boring, counterboring, spot facing, reaming, and tapping (threading). Drill press operators must know how to set up the work, set speed and feed, and provide coolant/lubricant. Want to learn more about drilling techniques?

ACRA Radial Arm Drill Presses: These machines are designed for drilling, tapping and reaming large size parts. The clamping table is very useful for clamping parts in position or for mounting fixtures and jigs to locate your parts. Heavy duty frame eliminates vibration. The headstock gears are made of hardened and ground alloy steel. The spindle is hardened and precision ground to be perfectly balanced and rigidly mounted on three precision radial antifriction bearings, with two axial bearings for thrust loads. The drilling spindle position is adjustable on a scale using a dial with a positive stop. The traversing head moves on the finely ground guide-ways. Upper guide-way is flat and lower guide way is dovetail type. The cooland system tank is inside the base of the machine with used coolant directed back into the tank. Quality manufactured in Taiwan.
