The optional, self-contained, electrically-driven table power feed unit reduced maximum travel by 1" but provided 6 feed rates of 0.75, 1.375, 2.5, 3.75, 7 and 12.5 inches per minute (19, 36, 63, 96, 179 and 315 mm/min). The drive was taken through a safety friction clutch and the motor could be reversed to provided travel in both directions.

Of neater appearance than the earlier power feed gearbox, the 6-speed unit fitted to the U2508 incorporated a large angled-face satin-chrome finished micrometer dial.

Arboga EM825 Heavy Version
Looking like an interim Model before the introduction of more robust U2508 this model is clearly labelled EM825 and has a bigger table, a larger-diameter main column and a more robust, rectangular-form base without the earlier cutaway under the front of the table support. .Fitted with the faster of the two high-speed options (100 to 2900 r.p.m.) the head was of the type with the spindle-speed levers transposed from the left to the right-hand side.
