Drill Accessories

Drill Stands

The Drill Stand: allows your portable drill to be turned into a stationary tool. Drill stands don’t offer all the features of a stand alone drill press, but can serve many of the same functions. Great for a person who wants a drill press but doesn't want to spend the cash. The device secures the drill in a vertical position and allows the compact drill to move up and down a fixed column. Don’t confuse a drill stand with a drill fixture. A drill fixture is a device that holds the drill in a stationary horizontal position. Allowing the drill to be used for operations such as sanding and grinding.

Drill Fixture or horizontal drill stand: a simple device that mounts to workbench and holds the drill in a horizontal position. This can be very useful for tasks such as grinding, sharpening, wire brushing and polishing.

Precision Drill Stand: Attaches to the compact drill and has a separate chuck. The chuck is mounted to a centerpiece that moves along two rods attached to a flat base. The rods can be set at 5 degree intervals and a collar on one of the rods acts as a depth stop.

Attachments

Flexible Drill Shafts: A great tool for extending the drill shaft. This flexible attachment up to 36 inches in length attaches to the drill and has a chuck at the other end that accepts bits. This is a great addition if you need to drill in tight spaces.

Bit Extensions: A bit extension adds to the length of any drill bit (with a flat or hexagonal shaft). The bit is secured via screws at the end of the extension. Bit extensions reach up to 18 inches.

Depth Stop: Attaches to the body of the drill and used to drill holes to a specific depth determined by the user.

Right Angle Drive:
This secondary chuck mounts to the first chuck and provides a secondary chuck at a right angle, for angled drilling. This is a good alternative to purchasing a right angle drill.

Drill Stop: Like a depth stop it is used to drill holes to a specific depth determined by the user, but the drill stop attaches directly to the bit.

Drill Gauge: This template card is used to measure the size of a drill bit. Dimensions are marked near each hole in the card.

Sanding Attachments

Flap wheel sander: A cylinder to which a number of sandpaper strips are attached. The spinning strips are useful for applying an even, smooth surface to circular objects.

Drum Sander: A circular drum coated with abrasive material. Drum diameters range from 1/2" to 3". Good for sanding irregular metal and wood shapes.

Wire Cup Brush: Wire strands attached to a circular brush are great for removing paint or rust.

Wire Wheel: Wire strands extended horizontal from the center of this device; it works well for removing paint or rust.

Sand paper discs: Attachable to any drill, some are fixed with a screw to a rotating plate and some have adhesive backs.
