This Proxxon unit offers a high quality machined work table of ribbed die-cast aluminum (worktable size 8 21/32" x 4 23/32" (220 x 120 mm) providing an adjustable fence with scale. The solid, hard-chromed steel column is 11" high (280 mm) and has a diameter of 3/4" (20 mm). The 110-120V/85W motor, which runs very quiet and has a long life expectancy is built in to the super stable die-cast head of the machine.

The power transmission by 3-step aluminum pulleys and flat belt provides 3 spindle speeds of 1,800, 4,700 and 8,500 rpm allowing triple torque at low speeds. The chrome feed lever has an adjustable depth scale.

The spindle is essentially free of play as a result of the 3 high quality ball bearing assemblies. For the insertion of MICROMOT steel collets it is recessed, but also threaded for attaching drill chucks with 3/8" thread (for this option see below the Roehm drill chuck, which we offer as an accessory). The spindle has an extremely high rotational accuracy and a 1-3/16" (30 mm) feed. The quill diameter is 1-1/4" (32 mm) with return spring, the throat depth (column to drill spindle) 5-1/2" (140 mm). The unit provides quick coarse height adjustment of headstock via clamp lever. The max. height (worktable surface to spindle end) is 5-1/2" (140 mm).

The unit comes with six triple slit MICROMOT precision steel collets for shaft sizes ranging from 1/32", 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64" and 1/8" (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, 3.2 mm).
