VT.13 Bench Top Drilling & Tapping Machine • 13mm Capacity • Digital Control System

Please contact for prices

The ERLO VT.13 is a versatile industrial drilling and tapping machine designed for workshops requiring greater drilling capacity while retaining the precision and convenience of ERLO’s advanced digital control system. Combining electronic variable speed control, digital drilling and tapping functions and robust cast iron construction, the VT.13 is ideally suited to maintenance departments, engineering workshops, assembly operations and light production environments.

The machine offers a 13mm continuous drilling capacity, 15mm maximum drilling capacity and M10 tapping capacity, providing increased capability over the VT.10 while maintaining a compact bench top footprint. The integrated OLED control panel allows operators to select drilling or tapping modes, adjust spindle speed electronically and monitor machine parameters in real time.

The VT.13 features ERLO’s intuitive digital control system with cycle counting, drilling depth monitoring, parameter memory and electronic speed adjustment. These functions improve repeatability, reduce setup time and simplify both drilling and tapping operations.

With its rigid cast iron structure, precision manual feed mechanism and larger working envelope, the VT.13 provides accurate and reliable performance for general engineering, fabrication, maintenance work, prototype manufacture, educational facilities and small batch production applications.
