The Asquith 6P 23/96 is a heavy-duty radial arm drilling machine, built to deliver dependable performance in machining shops handling large workpieces. Its combination of a substantial arm travel, wide spindle speed range and robust construction renders it a reliable asset for demanding drilling and tapping operations.
For a shop that needs a flexible, heavy-duty drilling machine capable of large reach and secure holding, this Asquith radial arm drill offers a compelling combination of capacity and functionality. The extended spindle-to-base clearance and long arm travel make it well-suited for large structural components or tall work-pieces. Power assisted features (e.g., elevating arm, power clamping) help reduce setup time and operator fatigue — an important advantage for higher-volume or heavy-work operations.
– Fabrication shops working on large components needing drilling or tapping with reach and versatility.
– Operations where fixed drill presses lack the reach or flexibility for tall or large work-pieces.
– Workshops needing a machine with both strong drilling/tapping capacity (50 mm) and good arm/travel reach.
– Facilities looking to invest in a used machine with robust specification and reputable supplier backing.
