Self-Feed Rail Drill (03500)

The Pandrol Self-Feed Rail Drill is a lightweight, portable machine for precise, efficient drilling of rails.

The drill is powered by a hydraulic system that delivers clean and powerful energy that is the driving force needed for boring holes. A simple clamp allows for quick set-up on track and patented arrow inserts ensure precision holes and quick drilling time. A separate coolant container assembly delivers coolant to the drill bit.

A range of rail templates, index bars and drill bit inserts are available as accessories to the Self-Feed Rail Drill. These enable the drill to be adapted for a full range of standard drilling patterns and different rail types.
