Question:
What do the designations KBE, KBC, KBU, KBA and KBM stand for at FEIN?
Answer:
FEIN has divided its range of core drills into 4 performance classes.
The two letters KB stand for core drill. The third letter indicates the functionality of the performance class.
KBE
Here E stands for Endurance. These are durable core drilling machines that are optimized for efficient core drilling. They only have clockwise rotation and therefore the functionality for core drilling only.
KBC
Here C stands for Compact. These are size-optimized core drilling machines that are optimized for use in confined working situations. They have R/L rotation and can be used for twist drilling, tapping, countersinking and reaming in addition to core drilling.
KBU
Here U stands for Universal. These are extremely versatile core drilling machines with an extra-large stroke range. Thanks to R/L rotation and electronic speed adjustment, twist drilling, tapping, countersinking and reaming are possible in addition to core drilling.
KBA
Here A stands for Automatic. These are fully automatic core drilling machines that offer maximum efficiency and minimum physical strain during core drilling work.
KBM
KBM stands for core drilling machines Metall. KBM was the official name of the universal FEIN core drilling machines until 2014.
