3. Description of the machine

The BlueMax Mini Type 3 is a semi automatic drilling and

All parts being worked on are fed into the machine by hand.

Flat panels made of wood-based materials are laid on the work table and, by way of option, fixed in place with the clamping equipment. The drilling process is initiated by pressing the start button. The start button must remain pressed until the drilling process has been completed. Using the integrated insertion facility (optional), the relevant fittings are pressed into place by means of a manually operated press in frame (optional). This concludes the machining process.
