If anybody has any information at all on these machines ie performance, specs, operations manuals it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rob, welcome to the forum. I also have an Arboga EM825, but can't advise on the largest drill size. Just guessing, I'd say 25mm dia.

My unit is still in storage waiting on a home workshop. I don't have 3 phase here so purchased a special VFD to power it from a single phase outlet. The VFD inputs 240VAC single phase and outputs 415VAC three phase. Is your's fitted with a 3 phase or single phase motor?

What sort of tooling came with your mill? I was lucky to get a range of Clarkson collets and chuck with mine and added an ER32 collet chuck and collets. The collet chuck has to be modified with a slot both sides in the stem so it can be held in the chuck, as is the Clarkson.

I got a photocopy of the manual from Tony"s web site. A bit expensive but could not find another source.

How about some photos?

Hi Robert

I believe the gears are a mixture of tufnol and steel, used I think to help quieten the gear train, straight cut gears can be quite noisy. A great machine even if they do have a round column, in my opinion light years ahead of any Asian round column mill/drill.

Rob, for your benefit, and maybe others, I sketched up a few details that might come in handy down the road.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your kind welcome,the only tooling i received with the mill was an ER32 collet chuck and collets. The chuck has been modified to suit with slots. My mill is also fitted with a 3 phase 415v motor (2 speed). I have tried the mill already it seems like a nice little machine.

When i get a chance i will send you some photos.
Cheers Robert-1
