MAFELL BST 460 S drilling stand

MAFELL BST 460 S 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.

The S version's special advantage is the swivelling column. Using the integrated angle scale, BST 460 S can be set in both directions up to 45° precisely and locked at 0°. The drill tip lies at the workpiece surface and forms the pivot axis, so existing markings remain accurate even when drilling at an angle.

Adjustable polyethylene cord tension lets you adapt the return force to the working position. This is especially useful for horizontal drilling, where lower feed force can make work more comfortable. After drilling, the integrated cord system pulls the carriage back towards the starting position.

For repetitive drilling and hole patterns the standard base plate can be replaced with an optional copying part. This allows BST 460 S to be used with drilling templates. The optional parallel stop with side stop is especially suited to series production and end-grain drilling. Drilling depth can be set quickly and precisely with the integrated scale.

BST 460 S is intended for drilling wood and wood-based materials together with a suitable 43 mm collar drill.
