This Meuser M 50 R is a radial drilling machine — sometimes referred to as a radial arm drill or radial drill press — designed for boring precise holes in metal workpieces. Radial drilling machines of this type are widely used in general engineering, toolmaking, and heavy fabrication, where their ability to position the spindle over a fixed workpiece offers a significant practical advantage over column drills. Meuser is a long-established German machine tool manufacturer with a reputation for robust, precision-built drilling and boring equipment serving the metalworking and engineering industries.
This machine dates from 1980 and is offered in used condition from a seller located in Germany. The specification sheet is comprehensive and reflects a full-size industrial radial drill capable of handling substantial work.
Drilling capacity reaches 50 mm diameter in steel and 60 mm in cast iron, figures that place this firmly in the heavy-duty category. The spindle is fitted with a Morse taper 5 — a large-format taper suited to heavy tooling — and the spindle speed range runs from 12.5 to 1,000 rpm, giving operators broad flexibility across materials and tool diameters. Feed rates are selectable between 0.06 and 0.5 mm per revolution, allowing fine control over chip load and surface finish.
The arm extends 1,250 mm from the column, and the column itself has a diameter of 350 mm, indicating a solidly built structure. The vertical distance from spindle to base plate is 1,350 mm, accommodating tall workpieces, while the crossrail adjusts vertically over a range of 620 mm. Notably, the machine is equipped with an additional column guide at the end of the arm, which stiffens the arm under load and reduces deflection during heavy cuts — a practical feature on a drill of this capacity.
Total installed power stands at 7.7 kW. The machine weighs approximately 4.6 tonnes and has an overall footprint of 2.53 m × 1.15 m, with a height of 2.82 m.
Included accessories are a swivelling box table and a coolant system, both of which extend the machine's day-to-day utility for production drilling work.
