The presence of a lighting and cooling system, coupled with an automatic feed, drastically facilitates mass production. High quality tools provide a longer service life, regardless of the amount of work performed.

To use it for amateur purposes for the house does not quite work out - the weight of the machine is about 260 kg and it needs a three-phase network for power, therefore it is unlikely to be able to supply it in the home workshop. But for small manufacturing enterprises it is the most rational choice, since its characteristics are on the same level with models, the cost of which is much higher.

4 Euroboor ECO 100/4 D

Despite the compact portable design, this drilling machine is capable of performing serious and laborious tasks of a professional level. The use of this professional equipment for the garage or home workshop hardly makes sense (and the price is too high for the house), but for industrial purposes and for performing complex tasks “in place” the Euroboor ECO 100/4 D fits like no other. The magnetic base has an attraction of 3 tons - more than enough for reliable fixation of a machine weighing 28 kg.

Professional machine with a smooth (electronic) adjustment of the speed of rotation copes with the deep drilling of steel and cast iron (up to 20 mm). This performance provides a powerful electric motor of 1.1 kW, the rotation of which is transmitted through a single-speed belt drive. The maximum number of revolutions is 2000, and if necessary, it can be lowered to 450. The massive thick-walled pipe (73 mm), along which the base runs, perfectly dampens vibrations, which ensures high precision of drilling. The surface of the desktop has an adjustment for height and angle of inclination, providing a solution to a wide range of tasks.

The fact that the equipment is operated from a normal power supply (220 V), allows you to use it not only for production purposes, but also in home workshops. The price is fully consistent with the reliability and quality of the drilling machine, which will cope with any intensity of work. In addition, the presence of a factory warranty (2 years from the date of purchase) is a factor that positively influences the choice of potential owners in favor of JET IDP-15BV.

2 MESSER MDM-32

High-performance drilling machine has a premium Dewalt Dwe1622k. Everything is provided in it for comfortable and fast work. LED illumination allows drilling or milling operations in conditions of limited visibility. The cutting fluid can automatically be supplied to the cutting fluid, providing a high processing speed. In case of emergency power off, the machine will not spontaneously turn on after power supply. The cartridge can be inserted replacement tool with a shank of 19 mm. To maximize the coupling with the workpiece allows a powerful magnet.

Domestic mechanics and millers flatteringly respond to the performance of the drill Dewalt Dwe1622k. The comfort in work is provided by effective LED illumination and a possibility of fast change of the tool. The disadvantages include the high price.

What to consider when choosing a drilling machine

1. First you need to decide on the power of the drilling machine. With frequent commercial use, the best choice would be to buy a model with an electric motor of more than 600 watts. Low-power equipment is enough for a garage or a house. The higher the power, the thicker the material can be drilled.
2. An important characteristic of the machine is the size of the hole. For domestic purposes, the hole diameter is limited to 16 mm. In the production chain have to do deep holes with a diameter of 60 mm.
3. High performance provides a model with low weight, the presence of several modes of rotation, with the possibility of highlighting the working area.
4. Do not forget about security. A transparent protective screen prevents the discharge of chips and sawdust. Also an important function will be the prevention of inadvertent switching on if the machine was previously de-energized before it was de-energized.
