A drill press is used mainly for drilling spaced holes or tunnels with exact depths. This is a versatile tool that every technician should have.
A drill press can drill holes onto an exact depth. This tool works with pulleys and belts. A motor drives the pulley and belts to spin the quill and chuck. The chuck holds the bit. When the lever is pulled down, the bit will drop onto the wood.
A drill press has two main types: the bench top and the floor model. It comes with motors of to 1 horsepower with a 5 to 12 speed setting. Mortise-machine-like function is achieved when a spindle sander and pocket hole machine are attached.
