Drill Press Proma B-1316B/400 (MPN 25401303) 400 mm spindle travel

Floor drill press Proma B-1316B/400 is a stationary drilling machine designed for precise vertical drilling in metalworking and woodworking environments. With a 400 mm spindle travel, the machine enables deep drilling operations and accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes. The press is intended for repetitive, accurate hole-making tasks such as drilling, reaming and tapping when workpieces are fixed to the table or clamped to the base.

Advantages

The Proma B-1316B/400 offers a stable cast-iron construction that reduces vibration during operation and helps maintain drilling accuracy. Its long spindle travel provides flexibility for various material thicknesses and setups. The machine is engineered for steady performance in workshop conditions and supports consistent, repeatable results for production or maintenance work.

Suitable for

• Precision vertical drilling in metalworking shops
• Woodworking tasks requiring deep or repeatable holes
• Reaming and tapping operations on fixed or clamped workpieces
• Workshop maintenance and small-scale production runs

Key specifications

• Spindle travel: 400 mm for deep drilling capability
• Design: floor-mounted stationary drill press for stable operation
• Application: suitable for drilling, reaming and tapping
• Workpiece fixation: table mounting and base clamping support
• Construction: rigid frame to minimise vibration and improve accuracy

How to use

Secure the drill press on a level floor or bench following the manufacturer's mounting recommendations, and ensure the work area is free of loose debris. Fit the appropriate drill bit, reamer or tap into the chuck and set the spindle travel according to the depth required. Clamp the workpiece firmly to the table or base to prevent movement, align the spindle with the intended drilling point, and perform the operation at a suitable feed rate and spindle speed for the material. Check progress periodically and clear chips to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluids or lubrication when drilling metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Select drill bit types and speeds matched to the material (e.g., high-speed steel for general metalwork, brad-point or Forstner bits for woodworking). Regularly inspect and maintain the chuck, spindle and drive components to preserve drilling accuracy and safe operation.
