The Cantek HS21T 21-Spindle Construction Boring Machine from Akhurst is a versatile construction drilling machine capable of line boring, end drilling, and construction drilling functions. The HS21T has a robust fabricated steel construction with a precision machined cast iron table. The boring head is cycled pneumatically and runs on precision linear guide rails for smooth drilling cycles. A 2 ½ HP motor powers the boring head with 21 gear-driven drill bits and operates at 2800 RPM.
Each spindle has a quick-change chuck to facilitate fast changeovers between drilling operations. The machine comes equipped with fold-away side fences, which are positioned using a linear scale. The 118″ back fence is equipped with four flip tops, ideal for setting panels during line-boring applications and more. The boring head is effortlessly tilted from 0-90° by a pneumatic cylinder. It can also be locked between 0° and 90° for angle drilling operations. Boring depth is quickly and precisely adjusted using a 6-position turret system. Workpieces are held firmly in place by two pneumatic clamps.
