Belt Drive Drilling Machine Tools

meddings compact drilling machine

Compact Specification 

Our latest machine development is still produced here in our own factory. This machine combines all our previous experience and knowledge in building drilling machines, but at a reduced cost base. It is lighter than previous models yet still robust and rigid. 

Not intended as a full time production machine, it still offers performance and accuracy to the highest order for the lighter user. 

L1 and L2 Meddings Drilling Machines

L1-L2-drilling-machines

Developed from our earlier, long-running, series these models feature 2 MT spindles with increased drilling capacities, the L1 series effectively replace the earlier L2 models and the new L2 replaces our earlier M4 series thus offering better value. The L2 models feature a 2 speed motor to extend the available speed range. 

Items now included as standard – rack and pinion table adjustment, work-light and base mounted stop switch were previously available as optional extras. All machines are supplied complete with chuck guards, as illustrated.
