Drill presses provide precision drilling with adjustable depth stops, stable tables and variable speeds. From benchtop models for small workshops to floor standing presses for production work, these machines ensure accurate hole placement and perpendicularity. Use them for drilling wood, metal, plastic and even mortising.
A drill press is a stationary drilling machine that offers precise, stable, and repeatable drilling in:
Woodworking, metalworking, and plastics
Countersinking, tapping, and boring operations
Applications where accuracy, control, and consistent depth are essential
Unlike handheld drills, drill presses allow for perfectly vertical holes, making them ideal for cabinetmaking, fabrication, and model building.
Precision: Drill depth and angle can be fine-tuned using depth stops and tilt tables
Power: Larger motors handle tougher materials with ease
Stability: The workpiece stays secure on the flat table, improving accuracy and safety
Versatility: With the right attachments, they can also sand, buff, or mortise
Key features to consider:
Motor power: ~350W for light work, up to 750W+ for heavy-duty use
Spindle travel (depth): Indicates how deep the drill can bore
Speed range: Variable speed or step pulley systems (important for different materials)
Chuck capacity: Usually 13 mm or 16 mm for general work
Tilting table and depth stop for angled holes and repeatable accuracy
Optional: LED lighting, laser crosshairs, and belt cover safety interlocks
