Drill press Proma E1516BVL/400 with laser, model 25004122

Proma E1516BVL/400 is a stationary column drill press designed for vertical drilling tasks in workshops and maintenance settings. This model features a rigid cast-iron column and table, a precision spindle with variable feed control, and an integrated laser for accurate drill alignment. The drill press is intended to provide stable mounting and repeatable hole placement for routine and precision drilling operations.

Advantages

The integrated laser simplifies alignment by projecting the drilling point onto the workpiece, reducing setup time and improving accuracy. The robust column and table construction minimize vibration and support consistent drilling depth and angle. Variable feed control allows the operator to adjust the drilling rate for different materials, while the clear layout of controls supports straightforward operation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Metalworking shops requiring accurate vertical holes
• Maintenance departments for repeatable drilling tasks
• Woodworking where consistent depth and alignment are needed
• Prototyping and small-series production with medium duty requirements

Key specifications

• Machine type: floor-mounted column drill press
• Drive: electric motor designed for stationary workshop use
• Spindle speed range: multiple speeds for varied materials and drill sizes
• Feed control: adjustable/mechanical feed mechanism for controlled drilling
• Worktable: adjustable height and tilt for versatile positioning
• Column and base: rigid construction to reduce vibration and increase stability
• Alignment aid: built-in laser for precise positioning of the drill bit
• Intended use: vertical drilling in metal, wood and similar materials

How to use

Secure the drill press to a firm floor or stable workbench according to the workshop layout. Select and mount the appropriate drill bit, clamp the workpiece firmly to the table, and adjust the table height and angle to position the drilling point. Switch on the motor and engage the laser to check alignment before lowering the spindle. Use the adjustable feed control to apply a steady, appropriate feed rate for the material being drilled and clear chips regularly to maintain accuracy and avoid overheating.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use cutting fluid when drilling metals, choose drill speeds matched to material and bit diameter, and verify laser alignment before each operation. Regularly inspect and tighten mounting bolts, keep the table and column clean, and perform routine maintenance of the motor and drive components to ensure consistent performance and safety.
