Fixed column drills

Bench drills are fixed to a workbench and are 60-100cm high. Pillar drills stand on the floor on their own base and reach a height of 150-180cm. The greater spindle-to-base distance of pillar models allows for working on taller workpieces. For the same capacity, pillar drills offer more stability due to their heavier weight.

For drilling up to 10mm in mild steel, 500W is sufficient. For diameters 10-20mm, 550-750W are needed. For over 20mm or in hard steels (stainless, alloyed), at least 1kW is required. Industrial models in the KBM series reach 5.5kW for drilling up to 80mm.

230V models work with standard household outlets and are suitable for garages, small workshops and workshops without a three-phase power supply. 400V models offer more torque, smoother operation and are standard in professional workshops. Check for three-phase power availability before purchasing.

Vario drills allow for continuous speed adjustment via potentiometer, without stopping the machine to change belts. They are ideal for those who work with different materials (wood, aluminum, steel) and want to optimize cutting parameters without interruptions. They cost more but increase productivity.

The essential accessories are: a bench vise for securing pieces, an HSS drill bit set for steel and a cobalt set for stainless steel, a spare chuck, and a chuck key. For frequent work, we recommend a drill bit sharpener, which keeps tools efficient and reduces costs over time.
