Benefits of the Self-Feed Rail Drill

Money saving

The Self-Feed Rail Drill is quick to use – both in terms of set-up on the rail and drilling time. This saves money on labor and track time.

Precise

The drill’s automatic feed and arrowhead inserts ensure consistently precise boring.

Easy transportation

The machine is lightweight, making it easy to carry and position on track.

Versatile

The versatility of the drill’s double-sided templates means that a range of rail profiles can be drilled without the expense of extra parts.

Adaptable

Similarly, because the insert holder can be used for a range of insert sizes, money is saved on having to change the complete holder and insert when drilling holes of different sizes.

Reduced maintenance costs

The drill’s lubrication system reduces friction and saves on maintenance costs.

Technical features of Self-Feed Rail Drill

Hydraulic source

The Self-Feed Rail Drill runs on a hydraulic system, operating at 10 gpm (38 lpm) and 2000 PSI (140 bar).

Simple clamp

The drill is clamped to the rail by pushing down the over cam designed handles.

Automatic feed

The drill has an automatic feed that ensures it advances accurately.

Inserts and holders

Patented arrowhead inserts drill precisely through raised lettering on the rail. The insert holder can be used for a range of insert sizes; just three holders will install and drill holes from 22mm (7/8″) to 38mm (1-5/8″).
