Simba Junior Standard FAQs
Which Simba Junior version do I need?
This page is the Standard, covering a 3 metre radius. Three are manufactured. The Standard drills a 3 metre ring radius and is the general purpose choice. The Mini covers 2.4 metres and fits smaller headings. The Lateral Movement version traverses sideways instead of pivoting, so it drills holes parallel to one another, which is what cut holes and box holes need. All three run on 400 cfm at 7 kg/cm2.
