A pillar drill, sometimes known as a pedestal drill, bench drill or drill press, is a fixed style of drill that is either bolted to the floor or mounted on a stand or workbench. This type of drill has more torque and is far more accurate than a hand held drill. Suitable for industrial, agricultural and woodwork applications, these models offer multiple speed drives. A pillar drill is a vital addition to any workshop and comes in a variety of models for varying needs.
