Title: My new to me wee drilling machine
Post by: RobWilson on February 02, 2016, 01:15:57 PM
Hi Chaps  :wave:

I traded  my long suffering 20 odd year old RF25 mill /drill  for this wee beastie  :) all part of my shop upgrades .

 (http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u410/RobWilson100/Arboga%20Geared-head%20Drill/P1100838_zpsvzxoq4mb.jpg) (http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Arboga%20Geared-head%20Drill/P1100838_zpsvzxoq4mb.jpg.html)

Had great fun moving it  :ddb:  Its an  Arboga gear head drill , 8 speed  ,4MT power fed quil  :dremel:  , it has a few  whitless marks in the table , nowt I can't fix and a few other dings here and there  :dremel:

Just for ref the table is 500mm x 400mm  and there is 300mm of deep throat    :headbang:



Cheers Rob

Looks like a right little powerhouse Rob. Is the power feed quill geared of the spindle drive? If so does it have a clutch?

Hi Pete ,


it looks like it is , the feed mech has an auto trip/stop , it  also looks like it has a rapid and slow feed  will find out more when I fire the thing up  :zap:  , I just plonked it where it stands Sunday tea time and  haven't had a good butchers at it yet .

Hi Rob,

A solid lump of machine.

Hi Phil its always the case lol

I still  have a to go back and collect a few 4mt drills and sleeves that I had forgot to stick in the van when picking the machine up . 


I nearly got shot of a large  unused drill vice a week back that I came across while sorting out the workshop , something I had forgot I had , but thought I better just hang on to it  :med:
