Column drill press Holzmann SB2516H 230V with 16 mm chuck and 80 mm drilling depth

The Holzmann SB2516H 230V column drill press with a 16 mm chuck and 80 mm maximum drilling depth is a compact machine intended for workshop and hobby applications. It is built to perform precise vertical drilling operations in materials such as wood, non-ferrous metals and plastics. The unit includes an adjustable worktable and a rigid column mounting that helps maintain tool alignment and repeatability for routine drilling tasks.

Advantages

The drill press combines a standard 230V motor with a 16 mm chuck size to accommodate a broad range of drill bits for general-purpose use. Its 80 mm drilling depth offers the capacity to handle thicker workpieces while the adjustable table and stable column improve accuracy. The compact footprint makes it suitable for smaller shops and hobby benches where space and straightforward setup are important.

Suitable for

• Vertical drilling in wood for cabinetry, shelving and joinery
• Drilling holes in plastics for fabrications and prototypes
• Light metalworking tasks such as drilling aluminium and other soft metals
• Repetitive production drilling where consistent depth and alignment are required
• Hobby and educational workshop use where a reliable bench-mounted drill is needed

Key specifications

• Power supply: 230 V mains operation
• Chuck capacity: accepts drill bits up to 16 mm diameter
• Maximum drilling depth: 80 mm
• Adjustable worktable: height and tilt adjustment for angled drilling
• Column design: rigid vertical column for alignment and stability
• Intended use: bench- or floor-mounted column drill for workshop and hobby environments

How to use

Secure the drill press to a stable bench or stand following the manufacturer's mounting recommendations. Fit a compatible 16 mm-capacity chuck and select an appropriate drill bit for the material. Adjust the worktable height and tilt as required to position the workpiece under the spindle, then set the drilling depth limit up to 80 mm to avoid over-penetration. Start the motor on the 230V supply and apply steady feed pressure, maintaining alignment between the bit and the workpiece. After completing drilling, stop the motor and allow the spindle to come to a full stop before removing the workpiece or changing bits.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality, clamp the workpiece securely to prevent movement, and select drill bits appropriate for the material and bit diameter. Regularly check and tighten chuck and table fastenings, and follow routine maintenance such as cleaning chips and inspecting the spindle and column for wear.
