Optimum OPTIdrill DQ 18 Bench Drill, 450W (1-Ph) | DQ18

Optimum OPTIdrill DQ 18 Bench Drill, 450W (1-Ph) | DQ18.

The Optimum OPTIdrill DQ 18 Bench Drill is engineered to provide precise, reliable drilling performance for a wide range of workshop tasks. Its precision drilling spindle, supported by pre-precision ball bearings, delivers smooth operation and a guaranteed concentricity accuracy of less than 0.03 mm when measured in the drilling sleeve. Furthermore, the high-quality quick-action drill chuck enables fast and convenient drill bit changes, helping to improve productivity.

The precisely machined drilling table features diagonally running T-slots and a circumferential cooling water trough, making it suitable for accurate workpiece positioning and efficient drilling operations. In addition, the table rotates through 360° and tilts up to ±45°, allowing greater flexibility when drilling at various angles. The one-piece die-cast aluminium quill lever with soft-grip handles ensures comfortable operation, while the integrated drilling depth scale supports accurate and repeatable drilling depths.

Safety and durability are equally important. Therefore, the machine incorporates 24 V DC safety electrics together with a separate emergency stop switch for enhanced operator protection. A high-quality GATES belt provides dependable power transmission, while the generously sized, heavily ribbed base plate with T-slots offers excellent stability and secure workpiece mounting.
