Built with Traditional Craftsmanship – Backed by Modern Performance
Ajax drilling machines are hand-assembled by highly trained engineers, continuing a time-honoured tradition of precision craftsmanship. This attention to detail ensures exceptional build quality and long-term reliability.
Designed with practicality in mind, the generous distance from the spindle to both the table and base allows for the easy handling of large workpieces, making these machines highly versatile for a wide range of drilling applications.
Automatic Feed System
With the exception of the AJ25 and AJ30 models, all machines in the range come standard with an automatic feed mechanism. The feed is graduated and adjustable, allowing operators to set the optimal feed rate for each job.
Automatic feed is available as an optional upgrade on the AJ25 and AJ30 models.
