Radial Drilling Machine
Product Code : LSK-MMTM-10616
Radial Drilling Machine (SKU LSK-MMTM-10616), or radial arm drill, carries its drill head on an arm that swings around a column, so holes can be drilled across a large or heavy workpiece without moving it. It is used in machining, fabrication and maintenance workshops at polytechnics, engineering colleges, ITI centres and TVET institutes. Science Lab Supplies supplies the machine from Ambala, India to training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The machine is of massive, rigid construction with ergonomically grouped controls. Electrohydraulic clamping locks the drill head, arm and sleeve in position, the spindle centres lightly and has a precise depth release, and taps engage shock-free through a clutch, with spindle reverse for withdrawal. Versions with 80 mm or 100 mm drilling capacity are also available.

Applications and Experiments for the Radial Drilling Machine
The radial arm lets trainees position the spindle over each hole on a heavy casting, plate or fabrication while the job stays clamped. Typical exercises are drilling hole patterns, reaming, counterboring and power tapping, using the clutch and spindle reverse.
- ITI Machinist and Fitter trades: drilling hole patterns in large plates and castings.
- Diploma and B.Tech workshop technology: comparing radial and pillar drilling machines.
- TVET machining modules: power tapping with clutch engagement and spindle reverse.
The arm and head are heavy and the spindle is powerful: clamp every job, keep hands clear of the rotating spindle and let trainees operate under an instructor.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Radial Drilling Machine is supplied as a single machine as described above, in the drilling capacity you select. Drills, taps and workholding are not listed in the specification; any optional accessories you request are itemised on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Specify the drilling capacity you require, including the 80 mm or 100 mm versions, and the number of machines. The quotation then states packing, delivery time and price, and other engineering lab equipment in India for the workshop can be added.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and, as a registered exporter, can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a radial drilling machine differ from an upright drill?
The drill head moves along an arm that swings around the column, so the spindle is brought to the hole position instead of moving a heavy workpiece under a fixed spindle.
Is a larger drilling capacity available?
Yes. Versions with 80 mm and 100 mm drilling capacity are also available; state the capacity you need when you ask for a quotation.
Who supplies the Radial Drilling Machine?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to polytechnics, engineering colleges, ITI centres and TVET institutes, and to contractors handling workshop tenders.
Can it be used for tapping?
Yes. Taps engage shock-free through a clutch, and the spindle reverses to withdraw the tap, which makes it suitable for power tapping practice.

A radial drill sits alongside smaller drilling machines and workholding in a training workshop. These four items cover pillar drilling, clamping and thread checking, so the complete drilling section can be quoted with this machine.
- Upright Drilling Machine — pillar drill for holes up to 25 mm.
- Drilling Machine Vice — clamps smaller jobs on the table.
- Tilting and Swiveling Vice — holds work for angled holes.
- Thread Gauge — checks threads after power tapping.
