• It features an electric motor that rotates the attached belt & spindles.
• The rotation of the spindles rotates the drill bits that drill out diverse shaped & sized holes.
• This drill press features hand wheels or electronic controls for moving the drill bits up & down to form holes of varying depths.
• It supports work on the table below the drill head and provides uniform alignment to produce more precise holes than handheld drills.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What to do in case of drill press failure?

A. Assuming that the selected drill press is supplied with the correct power supply and is the correct choice for the desired hole size, the first thing to check is the status of the wiring connections. Users should also check & clean dirt or dust accumulated on the motor causing heating up of the motor. Motors, step pulley & belt drive should also be lubricated regularly for smooth operation. Users should take care that they do not run the drilling machines in a workpiece that is not suitable for drilling according to the product's operating manual.

Q. How can users select the right drill press for their needs?

A. Firstly, the users should measure the electrical supply specifications required for powering the drill press. Depending upon the workpiece & material thickness, the required output power of the drill press should be calculated. The customers should take note of the construction, type of motor used and the chuck size available before buying the unit. The safety and controlling mechanisms should also be paid attention to while selecting the right drill press. The location of the applications also matters a lot when choosing the correct drill press.

Q. What other variants of drill presses are supplied by Raptor Supplies?

A. Raptor Supplies offers various variants of drill presses, such as milling and drilling machines, magnetic drill presses and handheld electric drills. Magnetic drill presses, also known as mag drills, feature a magnetic base for sticking to ferrous metal surfaces & holding the drills in position while making holes in structural steel, I-beams, pipes and other metal workpieces. Milling & drilling machines are used to both drill holes in workpieces and remove the extruded material from those holes. Handheld electric drills are ideal for creating holes in any position.
