The AX.35 and AX.40 models from ERLO’s AX Series are designed to handle demanding industrial drilling tasks with precision and efficiency. These machines are equipped with automatic feed via a mechanical clutch, providing operators with ease of operation, especially for repetitive tasks. The AX Series offers a middle ground between manual models like the SX Series, which provide full operator control, and the BX Series, which utilize an electromagnetic clutch for fully automated feed.
The AX.35 and AX.40 are ideal for industries requiring robust machines capable of handling heavy workloads, while still allowing operators some control over the drilling process. The machines offer significant improvements in efficiency compared to manual feed models, without the full automation of the BX Series.

Whether you’re searching for the best drill to enhance your DIY projects or an industrial pillar drill UK businesses rely on for heavy-duty tasks, Workshop Press is your go-to destination. Discover how our machines bring unparalleled accuracy and efficiency to your work.
When differentiating between a professional and an industrial pillar drill press, it’s important to consider their intended use, construction, and capabilities. Industrial pillar drills are specifically designed for heavy-duty applications and continuous use in demanding environments such as metal fabrication shops and manufacturing plants. They feature powerful motors, advanced gear-driven mechanisms, and enhanced durability to handle larger drill bits and tougher materials with precision and reliability. In contrast, professional pillar drills are built for regular but not continuous use, offering robust construction and user-friendly features suitable for workshops, small businesses, and educational institutions. Understanding these distinctions helps in selecting the right drill press for your specific needs.
