The LTF column drill mod. T 340 is a very popular option among used machine tools thanks to its robustness and reliability. This model is ideal for precision drilling on a wide range of materials, making it suitable for both small workshops and medium-sized industries.

Components and Structure

The LTF T 340 column drill is mainly composed of:

• cast iron base , which ensures stability and reduces vibration during use.
• Steel column that supports the headboard and the adjustable work table.
• Height-adjustable and tiltable work table
• Chuck capable of accommodating bits of various diameters and other drilling equipment.
• electric motor , providing constant power during operation.

Measurements and Mechanical Specifications

LTF T 340 drill press vary depending on the specific model, but typically features a height of approximately 1.7 meters, with a spindle that can reach drilling depths of up to 100 mm. Its power varies, but standard models are equipped with motors of 1.1 to 1.5 kW, sufficient for a full range of drilling operations.

Usage Procedure

Using the LTF T 340 is relatively simple and safe:

1. Secure the workpiece to the table with appropriate clamps.
2. Select the spindle rotation speed based on the material type and drill size.
3. Start the engine and adjust the chuck height to start drilling.
4. Apply constant, even pressure on the handwheel for precise drilling.

Matching accessories

This drill can be equipped with accessories such as:

• Screw clamps to secure machined parts.
• Magnetic tables for ferrous materials.
• Drill bits of various sizes and materials, including HSS (high speed steel) or tungsten carbide.

Workable Materials

The LTF T 340 can process different materials, such as:

• Steel
• Cast iron
• Light alloys
• Plastic
• Wood

Formulas for Optimal Use

To optimize drilling, it is useful to apply formulas to calculate the cutting speed ( vcv_c $v$ c ​) nn $n$ ):

• vc=π⋅D⋅n1000v_c = \frac{\pi \cdot D \cdot n}{1000} $v$ c ​= 1000 π ⋅ D ⋅ n ​, DD $D$ is the diameter of the tip and nn $n$ is the speed of the spindle.
• Adjust the speed according to the material: for light steels it can vary between 20-40 m/min, for wood and plastic up to 60-100 m/min.

Maintenance and Evaluation of Used Vehicles

To keep your LTF T 340 drill in good condition:

• Lubricate bearings and moving parts regularly.
• Check spindle alignment and condition of drive belts.
• Inspect the engine periodically to avoid overheating.

When purchasing a used model, it is essential to check:

• The condition of the column and the table (absence of signs of excessive wear or corrosion).
• The fluidity of the spindle movements.
• The integrity of the engine and the precision of the drilling.

Application Sectors

LTF T 340 column drill is mainly used in:

• Mechanical workshops.
• Metallic carpentry.
• Carpentry sector.
• Plastic industry.

Buying a LTF T 340 is often advantageous because you can get a machine that is still performing at a lower price than a new one, guaranteeing excellent productivity for many years
