Choosing the Right Drill Press
We offer a selection of drill presses to suit any workshop size and budget. For those with limited space, our compact bench models deliver reliable power without taking up valuable benchtop area. For larger workshops and heavier jobs, our floor-standing machines offer greater capacity and stability. Compare options based on swing, chuck size, and motor power to find the right fit for drilling deep holes for joinery or precise depths for hardware.
Key Features for Accurate Drilling
Precision engineering is central to our drill press range. Look for features that improve woodworking outcomes, such as easy speed changes to suit different timbers and robust table adjustments for angled drilling. Many models include depth stops for repeatable accuracy, which is crucial for consistent results in cabinetry. Sturdy construction minimises vibration, while quality chucks ensure the drill bit runs true, providing a cleaner hole.
Pair Your Drill Press with the Right Accessories
Get the most from your machine with accessories that expand its capabilities. For cutting square holes for joinery, consider mortising machines & accessories. Use plug cutters to conceal screw heads or prepare holes with countersinks & counterbores. We also stock a wide variety of drill bits, including brad point drill bits and sets for clean entry in timber and standard twist drill bits for general use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drill press used for?
A drill press is used to bore precise holes in timber and other materials. It provides greater accuracy, stability, and control than a hand drill, allowing you to set exact depths and angles for your work.
How does a bench drill press differ from a floor model?
A bench drill press is compact and designed to be mounted on a workbench, making it ideal for smaller workshops. A floor model is a larger, free-standing machine that typically offers greater drilling capacity for bigger workpieces.
What features improve drilling accuracy in woodworking?
Key features for accuracy include a sturdy cast-iron table to reduce vibration, a reliable depth stop for consistent hole depths, and minimal runout (wobble) in the quill. Using the correct bit, like brad point bits, also improves precision in timber.
What bits are best for a drill press when working with wood?
Brad point bits are excellent for timber because their sharp centre point prevents the bit from wandering at the start of the cut. For large diameter holes, forstner & sawtooth bits produce clean, flat-bottomed holes.
