A Drill Press is used when the location and orientation of the hole must be controlled accurately. Used extensively in woodworking for furniture, cabinet and accessory making, drill presses are stationary tools that are sold as either stand alone floor models (a base that supports a column) or benchtop models. A drill press can also be used to drill holes in metal, plastic and other materials depending upon the speed of the motor (variable speed) and the drill bits used. With the right attachments, a drill press can also be used as a spindle sander, mortise machine or pocket hole machine.
