boring.
The BR23 allows System 32 line boring, with hole spacing of 32mm
to facilitate the easy installation of dowels, brackets, hinges, cam
fittings, shelf support, connecting screws, etc. The boring head
carriage can be adjusted to a 90°, 45°, or 0-degree position. Holes
can be bored in the faces or edges of the workpiece.
This robust boring machine allows quick set-up times, digital
read-outs for improved accuracy, and a conveniently large working
surface for applications.
