Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a pillar drill and a bench drill?

A pillar drill has a taller structure and a more stable base: it's the right choice when you're working with medium/large pieces, want more comfort at height, and are looking for rigidity in repetitive operations.

A benchtop drill is more compact, attaches to a workbench, and is ideal if you have limited space and primarily work with small pieces. For the same stated maximum diameter, the real difference lies in stability, footprint, and ease of use.

How much does a professional metal drill cost?

The cost varies according to structure, power, precision, and accessories (e.g., digital display/DRO, inverter, feeds). In general, a heavier and more rigid machine, with a high-quality transmission and components, guarantees better precision and reliability over time. If you want to choose well, always evaluate the actual use: typical diameters, materials, working hours, and repeatability requirements.

What are the best drill bit brands for metal?

The power required depends on the hole diameter, type of steel, and tool. Indicatively:
up to Ø16 mm: medium-low power may be sufficient if the machine is rigid and you work with the correct RPM
Ø16–25 mm: more torque and stability are needed
over Ø25 mm or on hard/stainless steels: it is advisable to upgrade to a more robust machine
For demanding operations, torque at low RPM is also important (in addition to the declared Watts).

What power is needed to drill steel?

The power required depends on the hole diameter, type of steel, and tool. Indicatively:
up to Ø16 mm: medium-low power may be sufficient if the machine is rigid and you work with the correct RPM
Ø16–25 mm: more torque and stability are needed
over Ø25 mm or on hard/stainless steels: it is advisable to upgrade to a more robust machine
For demanding operations, torque at low RPM is also important (in addition to the declared Watts).

Better a single-phase 230V or three-phase 400V drill?

230V single-phase is perfect if you work in a garage or small workshop and want a machine that is ready to use without dedicated systems.

400V three-phase is recommended for intensive use and higher power: it offers more torque, better efficiency, and greater continuity under load. Many Bernardo and Flott models are available in both versions: the best choice depends on your electrical system and the type of work you do.

Which machine for which process

Bench drills (from €270): compact, they mount on the workbench. Drilling up to Ø 20-25 mm on steel, with ±45° tilting table and digital display. The Bernardo BM series (from €622) includes spindle travel display and LED light. The Record Power DP25B (€309) and DP58B (€520) have cast iron frames. All available in 230V.

Pillar drills (from €270): floor-standing structure with a vertical column for more stable and precise drilling. The Bernardo SBM 16 Vario (€683) has a cross laser and variable speed. For industrial applications, the FLOTT range starts from €6,569 with inverter, continuous speed and entirely German construction.

Drill-milling machines (from €829): combine drilling and milling in one machine. Tilting head up to ±90°, cross table with T-slots and 3-axis digital display. The KF series (from €829) is for workshops and small factories. The BF series (from €1,939) has a brushless DC motor and automatic X-axis feed for more demanding operations.

Radial drills (from €408): the spindle slides along a horizontal arm to reach different points of the workpiece without moving it. Capacity from Ø 16 to Ø 80 mm, threading up to M64. The RD series covers mechanical workshops (from €5,673) and heavy industrial carpentry (from €23,370). Vario and NC versions with touchscreen available.

Universal milling machines (9 models): for slots, grooves, surfacing and precision machining on 3 axes. For specific needs, you can also find portable beveling machines (from €250) for edge preparation on steel and stainless steel directly on site.
