Pillar Drills
The now collective name for the majority of drilling machines the pillar drill actually refers to a floor standing variety which are more commonly used in professional environments to work on bigger and more varied projects. The pillar drill comes with selective gearing so you can alter the speed at which the drill operates, this can be from as slow as 160rpm up to a whopping 8000rpm. The gearing is using usually altered by removing the top cover and selecting the desired gear from a combination of drive wheels or from a variable speed motor. A wide range of materials can be machined using a pillar drill on the various different speed settings.

Bench Drills
More common for household workshops and woodworking enthusiasts the bench drill is a smaller version of the floor standing pillar drill and as the name suggests is more suited to being bench or worktop mounted. The bench drill is ideal for a woodworking hobbyist or tradesman and offers several benefits over a traditional handheld drill, mainly the angle of insertion is constant, the depth of the hole is constant and the workload by the operator is a lot less meaning any woodwork can be drilled accurately and repeated without increasing the chance of mis-alignment or mis-drilling. Although a bench drill is lighter than a full size floor standing pillar drill it is still a very heavy piece and can weigh in excess of 50kg, for this reason we suggest you order online and take advantage of the quick UK delivery offered by many of the retailers and save yourself the journey and effort of collecting yourself by getting your bench drill delivered direct to your home or workshop.
