Frequently Asked Questions
What can the BF 18 BDC with 3-axis DRO DT 40 machine?
Drilling, face milling, end milling, and tapping on mild steels, cast iron, and light alloys.
The stated capacities refer to standard unhardened steels. For alloy steels, reduce feed and cutting speed to preserve tools.
How is the spindle speed adjusted?
See the "Spindle speed" data in the technical table: Vario adjustment or mechanical step change.
Vario models allow continuous adjustment via inverter or keypad, while mechanical gear models (e.g., BF 30 G) require manual range selection.
What power supply does it require?
See the "Voltage" data in the technical table: typically 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase.
Large models (BF 45, FM 45, FM 50) require a 400 V three-phase line. Check availability in the workshop before purchase.
Is the head tiltable?
Yes, see "Head inclination" in the technical table.
Head inclination allows for angular milling and chamfering without complex workpiece clamping. More advanced models offer inclination up to ±90°.
How much does the machine weigh?
The weight varies from approx. 50 kg (KF 10) to over 350 kg (BF 45 HSV Vario).
For models over 200 kg, installation on a dedicated base is recommended. For lighter models, a sturdy and level workbench is sufficient.
