One of the most common risks caused by negligent usage is the entanglement of hair, clothing, and accessories in the rotating drill. One way to prevent this is by using a fixed guard around the drill to prevent entanglement.

The working depth of the drill can be set to the nearest millimeter, and the RPM of the drill can be precisely controlled. This makes them suitable for reliable, effective drilling on almost any material.

Often referred to as a 'drill press', pillar drills come in a range of shapes and sizes and are often specialised to suit the needs of a large number of industries. The machine consists of a powerful drill bit that's fixed to a sliding column. This keeps the drill in place as it is lowered into the workpiece via a rotating handle on the side.

Mag Drill - If you're looking for a portable alternative to the traditional pillar drill, look no further than a mag drill. Similarly functional to a standard pillar drill, mag drills use powerful electromagnets to securely attach themselves to a metal surface. This allows the operator to create precise, accurate holes similar to a pillar drill, but with the portability of a handheld drill.

Neatness and Accuracy - By being able to control every aspect of the drilling process with unmatched precision, users are able to create holes at an industry standard.

Drilling Hard Materials - Thanks to the nature of a pillar drill, users can exert far more drilling force than with a standard drill. This makes them excellent at creating perfect holes in hard materials such as steel or hardwood. Benchtop Pillar Drill - The most common type of pillar drill, the benchtop pillar drill is easily fixed to any workbench. Whilst not quite as sturdy and heavy-duty as a floor standing pillar drill, benchtop pillar drills make an excellent choice for those with limited space. DIYers and amateur woodworkers typically choose this type of pillar drill.Credit subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply.

Some DIYers have converted their pillar drills to a mill; however it will never be as sturdy as a regular mill as pillar drills are not designed to handle the forces involved in milling. We would strongly advise against using a pillar drill as a mill. If you're looking specialised advice about the right tool for your job, feel free to ask our experts for professional advice. Floor Standing Pillar Drill - Floor standing pillar drills are typically used in more professional settings where heavy duty machinery is valued. They offer excellent drilling depth compared to benchtop models, but their bulk, size and power requirements make them hard to justify for home use. Floor drills are usually seen in workshops and factories. Clamping the workpiece keeps it steady and prevents it from coming loose and spinning with the drill, which can cause damage and injury.
