Usage
The Contimac CH 10 column drilling rig is designed for precise drilling operations in metalworking, woodworking, and light industrial workshops. It is suitable for tasks requiring controlled vertical drilling on a stable platform.
Advantages
- Robust drive system with aluminium pulleys enhances efficiency during operation.
- Precision drill shaft mounted on quality ball bearings ensures minimal vibration and accurate results.
- Adjustable drill table can be tilted diagonally and easily raised or lowered via a gear rack and handwheel system.
- Integrated safety features including an emergency stop function and zero-voltage switch to protect users.
- Slight limitation in maximum drilling diameter (13 mm) may restrict use to small- or medium-sized workpieces.
Specifications
- The design includes a precision-machined cast iron base and table for optimal stability; the column diameter measures 60 mm, supporting rigid alignment of the spindle.
- The machine demonstrates high durability with all key moving components housed in robust materials; it meets common workshop safety standards.
- The CH10 features a motor power of 1/2 HP, supports up to five speed selections (600–2600 rpm), offers a maximum drilling capacity of Ø13 mm, allows vertical travel (shaft displacement) up to 60 mm, has an overall height of approximately 750 mm, and weighs around 29 kg.
- Differentiating features include its V-belt drive system for reliable torque transfer, diagonal adjustment capability of the worktable (200 x 200 mm), depth stop for repeatability, quick-access emergency stop control, and compact footprint with foot size measuring roughly 333 x 205 mm.
How it works
The operator secures the workpiece on the adjustable table beneath the spindle. After setting speed via belt adjustments and activating power controls, the user lowers the drill head using a handwheel or lever. The mechanism ensures precise perpendicular motion for clean holes at preset depths.
