The Joy MS4F is a used vertical drill — sometimes referred to as a rock drill or down-hole drill — a type of drilling machine designed to bore vertical holes into rock or hard ground formations. Joy is a well-established name in underground and surface mining equipment, with a long history of building drilling, cutting, and haulage machinery for the hard-rock mining and tunneling industries.
This machine is equipped with a 17-foot mast, which determines the maximum depth achievable in a single pass before rods must be added. It accepts 22-foot drill rods with a 1.5-inch bit diameter, providing the reach and cutting capacity suited to production drilling in mining or quarrying applications. The drill is air-powered and requires a 750 CFM compressor to operate, meaning no onboard engine is included — a suitable external compressor must be provided to drive the rotation and percussion mechanisms. This 1972 machine is offered in used condition and is currently located in Mexico, listed at $19,500 USD.
