Drill presses allow you to drill holes in metal, wood and a variety of other materials more precisely and conveniently than you could with a handheld drill. They also provide more power to drill through tough materials. The stationary bit provides accuracy and control, allowing you to drill at perfect right angles and make consistent repetitive holes. Optional accessories also make this machine quite versatile, so you can use your drill press for such diverse tasks as sanding, mortising, buffing, grinding and shaping.
