Drill Presses for Metal

Available67 products

Drill presses for metal workpieces typically spin bits at low speeds with high torque. These stationary drilling machines rotate bits held in a vertically mounted drill head and drive them downward to make holes in workpieces. They support work on the table below the drill head, and they maintain consistent alignment to create more accurate holes than handheld drills. Depending on the type of bits used, these shop drills may ream, countersink, counterbore, tap, or perform other holemaking operations. Benchtop drill presses create holes in thinner metal workpieces and mount to a work surface to save floor space. Floor stand drill presses provide a long spindle travel to drill through thicker metal workpieces and create larger-diameter holes than benchtop drill presses. Radial drill presses mount their drilling head on an arm that extends from the support column and allows vertical and horizontal positioning of the head.
