A central spindle tube is positively connected to the control unit and guides a main ram as well as an intermediate ram that rests on top of a steel drill member for reciprocating movement therewith. An insert portion secured inside the central spindle tube, which latter may comprise a check valve at its lower end, has partitions separating a plurality of passages with ports arranged in the central spindle tube for selected flow connections.
