Selection guide

Bench drilling machine: from Ø4 to Ø20 mm

A bench drill stands on a workbench or a stand. It takes little space and suits small holes in small parts — in workshops, classrooms, and assembly and repair areas.

The models differ in diameter and speed. The MAXION SPEEDMAX drills up to Ø4 mm with an ER 11 collet at 700–24,000 rpm: small drills need high speed. The MAXION BT 6 FREQUENZ takes up to Ø6 mm at 1000–9000 rpm. The MAXION ECOMAX 14 and MAXION UNIMAX 1 FREQUENZ drill up to Ø14 and Ø15 mm, with an MT 2 taper and a digital readout. The MAXION BT 20 takes up to Ø20 mm, with a 100 mm spindle stroke, tapping up to M16 and a part counter.

For holes over 20 mm and heavier parts you need a column drilling machine. A batch of M8 threads is tapped on a similar base by the MAXION UNIMAX 1 TAP in the tapping machines section. The BT 6 FREQUENZ and UNIMAX 1 FREQUENZ heads also fit the MAXION BRK 18 multi-station unit. General selection criteria are on the drilling machines.

Questions and answers

Why 24,000 rpm?

Cutting speed depends on the diameter: for a drill of a few millimetres to cut properly, the spindle has to turn many times faster than for a Ø20 mm drill. That is why the SPEEDMAX exists for small holes, and slower models for larger ones.

Can a bench drill tap threads?

The BT 20 taps up to M16. For batches of M8 threads there is the UNIMAX 1 TAP, and tapping machines for other sizes.
