IMA Model A60-S Floor Drill Press - 18" Swing - 85-2750 RPM - 1HP 3PH

IMA A60-S 18" Geared Head Pedestal Drill Press

Model: A60-S | Production Year: 1961 | Serial No: 61360

Professional Overview

The IMA A60-S is a Swedish-built, industrial-grade geared head drill press known for its exceptional rigidity and high-torque performance. Unlike common belt-driven models, this geared head design ensures positive power transmission, making it ideal for heavy drilling, reaming, and large-diameter hole making. Sourced from the legendary Machinery Scandinavia (Rosenfors, Sweden), this "heavy iron" pedestal press is a staple for toolrooms that require precise, repeatable results and long-term durability.

Key Performance Features

• Swedish Precision Gearing: Features hardened and ground alloy steel gears designed for smooth operation and maximum longevity.
• Versatile Speed Control: The 12-speed gearbox allows for a low 85 RPM for tough steels and a high 2750 RPM for smaller non-ferrous drilling.
• Massive Vibration Dampening: The dense cast-iron frame eliminates the chatter common in lighter, modern drill presses, ensuring cleaner holes and longer tool life.
• Mechanical Rise/Fall: A robust rack-and-pinion system allows for easy height adjustment of the table to accommodate various workpiece sizes.
