Drill Presses

Floor drill pressesare ideal for drilling through thick metal workpieces with larger diameter holes than bench drill presses. These stationary machines offer a long spindle travel and are used to rotate & drive downwards the vertical bits held in a drill head for making holes in workpieces. The floor drill presses also have a worktable below the drill head for supporting workpieces & maintaining consistent alignment while creating precise holes. These drill presses are ideal for drilling, reaming, counterboring and tapping of diverse sized holes. They are equipped with an oversize drill head with widely spaced bearings for smooth operation, decreased vibrations and less noise. These floor type drill presses feature a rack and pinion table raiser for quick set-ups, installation & operator convenience and a work light for illumination over the selected workpiece / work area for operator safety. Selected models of these floor drill presses may include step pulley and belt drive design for controlling speeds of drilling.
Floor radial drill presseson the other hand feature a drilling head that is mounted on the arm extending out of the support column. These drilling heads move up & down with the arm to accommodate wide workpieces.
Bench drill presseshave a compact size and are mounted to a work surface to save floor space. They feature shorter spindle travel than floor-stand drill presses and are therefore able to create holes in thinner metal workpieces.
Geared head drill pressesare the ideal choice for repetitive drilling of medium to heavy duty large holes. These geared drill presses are operated using helical / hardened gears for smooth and quiet operation.

Drill press machines are used to drill & create holes in metal or wooden pieces in manufacturing, metal fabrication and retrofitting industries.

After the electric power is provided to the motor, the attached stepped pulley starts rotating. The spindle pulley rotation causes the belt / V belt attached to it to rotate. On the other end of the belt, one more stepped pulley is attached in inverted form to increase or decrease the speed of the rotational motion. Rotation of the second pulley allows the rotation of a spindle & chuck. Different types of drill bits are fitted on the spindle & chuck for drilling according to the desired shape, size & depth of holes and material of the workpiece. A hand-wheel or electronic control moves the spindle up and down in the vertical direction to give the necessary amount of feed to the workpiece. Selected models of radial drilling machines are equipped with a hand wheel featuring rack & pinion drive mechanism to rotate pinion and convert their rotary motion to linear motion for accommodating diverse sized workpieces.

• Drill presses are used for drilling, reaming, counterboring and tapping of holes in wooden or metal surfaces.
• They generally have an electrical motor that rotates the attached belt & spindles.
• The rotation of these spindles in turn rotates the drill bits that drill out diverse shaped & sized holes.
• These drill presses are equipped with hand wheels or electronic controls for moving the drill bits up & down to form holes of varying depths.
• Bench drill press machines are used for machining small diameter holes; installed on benches, tables & worktables.
• Floor Drill Presses can be installed upright on the floor for drilling medium to large sized straight holes.
• A floor drill press provides more drilling capacity as compared to a bench drill machine due to its more powerful motor.
• Radial type drill presses have a radial arm to move the drilling head horizontally for adjusting the position of the drill bit above the desired location of the workpiece.
• These radial drill presses also allow drilling of holes at desired inclination & angles with respect to the normal vertical position.
• Geared head drill presses use steel or reinforced fibre gears for driving the drill instead of belts.
• Mill drill machines combine the design & functionality of a drill press with a milling machine; can both drill holes and remove drilled out material from the surface of a workpiece.
• Selected models have direct drive motors instead of belt drive motors for delivering more power & increasing efficiency.
