The BF46 Mill Drill delivers a perfect balance of strength, precision, and versatility for demanding workshop, maintenance, and light industrial applications. Powered by a robust 1.5 kW motor (single or three phase options available) and a precision gear driven head, the BF46 offers smooth, consistent torque across its 6 speed range (60-1,740 rpm), making it well suited for both heavy drilling and accurate milling work. The rigid dovetail column construction ensures excellent stability, while the fine down feed and adjustable depth stop provide precise control during delicate milling operations. A generous 800mm x 240mm worktable accommodates larger components, and the head's +/-90 degree tilt capability increases versatility for angled machining. The BF46 comes standard with a 4MT spindle taper, factory fitted 3 axis digital readout (DRO) for accurate, repeatable positioning, and a powered "x" axis feed to boost efficiency and machining accuracy.
