Drill Press Types

Bench top drill presses mount directly to a workbench or on their own stands. Their compact size makes bench-top models good choices for small shops.

Floor-model drill presses usually have more powerful motors, more attachments/accessories and greater material handling capacities than bench-tops. The extra versatility makes floor models good choices for serious DIY and commercial shops.

Portable drill presses yield the least power, but are convenient for small jobs and travel. For someone without a functioning wood shop, this tool can be necessary.

Radial drill presses have a movable spindle that can be adjusted to the work. This type of machine is convenient to use on large and heavy work or where many holes are to be drilled since the work does not have to be readjusted for each hole.
