Workshop drilling that has to run straight, repeatable holes belongs on a pillar press rather than a handheld drill. This bench-top press pairs a 13mm keyed chuck with a five-speed belt drive, letting the operator match spindle speed to the material — slow for steel, brisk for wood and plastics.
Stability first
The cast iron base and column resist the flex that ruins hole accuracy, while the tilting table sets angles for jigs and cross-holes. Spindle travel runs to 50mm, the chuck guard swings clear for bit changes, and the NVR switch means the machine never restarts itself after a power cut.

Bench-mount it in the workshop and it stays put for years; multi-machine fit-outs are quoted through the trade desk with UK-wide delivery.
