ASDO Wetzlar Column Drilling Machine

an old industrial column drilling machine / radial drilling machine, probably originating from Germany (ASDO Wetzlar) and imported/sold by Edouard Baeyens – Brussels, a well-known Belgian machine distributor from the past.

This is a very heavy professional machine, used in metalworking workshops.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS?
✔ Industrial pillar drilling machine (heavy duty)

or

✔ Radial drilling machine (due to the large arm and movable drill head)

These types of machines are used for:

Drilling of large metal parts

tapping (thread cutting)

Culling

Heavy workpieces that do not fit on small drills

They are extremely strong and intended for continuous industrial use.
