Drill Chuck Assembly
The option of making our machines suitable for the use of standard spiral drills and other tools by using a
cylindrical shaft is an important characteristic of Euroboor magnetic drilling machines. Please see the
technical data for maximum capacity.
Installation of 13mm Chuck by using adapter IBK.14
The IBK.14 is a adaptor from 1/2"x20 UNF to 3/4" Weldon.
Attach a Drill Chuck (like Euroboor IBK.13) with internal 1/2"x20 UNF on the IBK.14 adaptor.
To attach the assembly into your Spindle, follow the instructions (with exception of the Pilot Pin) for
installation of a Hole Cutter. Adaptor IBK.14 can be used on most machines in our program.
Installation of 13mm Chuck directly on the motor unit
For the ECO.32, ECO.32T, ECO.40 and IBM.30/2 magnetic drilling machines it is possible to install a drill
Chuck directly to the shaft extending from the motor unit. For ECO.32T First remove the two Allen screws
on top of the spindle with the included Allen key no. 3. Remove the Spindle by using wrench 18 and 20. Fix
the extending motor shaft with wrench 18 and turn the spindle with wrench 20 anti-clockwise.
Take the spindle of the shaft and out of the triangular guide (Steady). Remove all the Allen screws below
the triangular guide by using the included Allen Key no. 5. Now can install the Drill Chuck with internal
1/2"x20 UNF tread on the extending shaft of the motor unit.
IMPORTANT : When reinstalling the spindle and the triangular guide (steady), you must ensure that the
triangular guide (steady) does not cause any friction or resistance to the spindle as it turns.
4 - The Magnetic Drilling Machine
The Magnetic base
Material of minimum 10mm thickness is required for the magnet to work the best.
The attachment force generated by the magnet depends on various factors.
- Thickness of the material the magnet is placed on
- Paint or coating of the material the magnet is placed on.
- Metal chips, oil or other dirt under the magnet.
If the LED indicator (see chapter 4-3-2) lights up GREEN, the magnet is generating sufficient attachment
force. If the LED indicator lights up RED, the magnet may not generating sufficient attachment force.
We would like to point out that this is only an indication and not a certainly that the magnet will not
release from the material. Euroboor accepts no liability ensuring from the magnet indicator not
functioning or functioning poorly.
