IM model 22 drill press is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, robust machine with reliable performance, both for professional work environments and small workshops. This model is visually compact and well-built, with a solid base that provides good stability. The motor is powerful and the drill press supports smooth movement, while the machine head can be easily adjusted to suit different processing needs.

Technical Data

• Engine power : 1.5 kW
• Spindle speed : variable, between 150 and 2,500 rpm, to adapt to various types of machining and different materials.
• Drilling capacity : up to 22 mm in steel and up to 30 mm in other softer materials.
• Maximum spindle diameter : 22 mm
• Usable height : adjustable in height up to 550 mm, to ensure a good working range.
• Working depth : variable, allowing you to work on pieces of considerable size.

Components and Features

The drill is equipped with a plexiglass guard that ensures maximum safety during use, an essential accessory that protects the operator from the risks associated with contact with the moving spindle. Furthermore, the machine is equipped with a lock sensor that interrupts operation if the guard is opened, another essential safety measure to prevent accidents.

The drill head can rotate 360 ​​degrees, allowing for ample maneuverability and facilitating work on workpieces of varying sizes and angles. This drill press model is also compatible with a wide range of accessories, such as additional chucks, supports for working with long workpieces, and coolant systems for cooling the material during drilling.

Workable Materials

The IM 22 drill is suitable for a variety of materials, including:

• Steel : ideal for precision work on light and medium steels.
• Aluminum : excellent for working this light metal, with excellent results in terms of speed and precision.
• Wood and plastic : can also be used for drilling in wood and plastic materials, with the need to adapt the rotation speed.

Use and Maintenance

The IM model 22 drill press is intuitive to operate. Speed ​​adjustment should only be made while the drill is running to avoid damaging the motor. It's important to keep the coolant in the tank at an adequate level to reduce tool wear and improve drilling quality. We recommend using a coolant diluted 8-10% with water for good lubrication.

Safety and Regulations

The machine is equipped with a protection system that complies with safety regulations, but in the absence of CE certification, it can be adapted to comply with local laws. The safety regulations to be followed include:

• Use of plexiglass protection during operation.
• Periodic check of the lock sensor to ensure that the drill stops automatically when the guard is opened.
• Make sure the machine is installed on a stable and level floor.

Advantages of buying a used one

Buying a used drill press, such as the IM model 22, offers numerous advantages. Not only is the price significantly lower than a new one, but the machine is already tested and ready to use, eliminating the risk of defects that can arise when purchasing a new machine. Furthermore, the reliability and robustness of used industrial machinery like this one make them a very affordable choice for professionals who don't want to compromise on performance.

Sectors of Use

The IM model 22 drill is widely used in various sectors, including:

• Precision mechanics : for drilling metal and plastic pieces.
• Carpentry and woodworking : thanks to the versatility in treating softer materials.
• Metalworking workshops : for the production of mechanical components and assemblies.

In conclusion, the IM model 22 column drill is a versatile, safe and easy to maintain machine, suitable for various types of machining and ideal for those looking for a high-quality used machine at a competitive price.
