MAFELL BST 460 drilling stand

The MAFELL BST 460 drill stand is designed for especially precise drilling in solid wood and glulam. The sturdy yet light aluminium-profile column forms a stable basis for precise work and offers significant advantages over conventional drill stands.

Single-column guidance gives an excellent view of the marking and drill tip. The open design leaves enough room for drill changes and helps prevent the machine from tilting while drilling.

A key feature is the 80 mm high six-roller drill guide. The vertically arranged rollers can be adjusted infinitely with an iris-type mechanism, guiding the drill precisely and reducing the risk of wandering. The guide suits drills of 8–30 mm diameter.

Adjustable polyethylene cord tension lets you adapt the feed force to the working position. This is especially useful for horizontal drilling, where lower feed force can make work more comfortable. After drilling, the machine automatically returns to its starting position.

For repetitive work and hole patterns the standard base plate can be replaced with an optional copying part, making BST 460 suitable for working with drilling templates. Marking grooves allow very precise drill positioning, and even in the swivelled position the drill tip remains the pivot axis.

The optional parallel stop with side stop creates a practical solution for series production, including end-grain drilling. The desired drilling depth can be set quickly and precisely with the integrated scale.

BST 460 is intended for drilling wood and wood-based materials with a suitable drill with a 43 mm collar . MAFELL also lists it as an accessory for the A 18 and ASB 18 cordless drills.
