drill press
Fixed workshop piercer
A drill press is a stationary power tool that drives a rotating bit vertically into a workpiece clamped below.
Unlike handheld drills, the fixed position and adjustable depth stop allow precise, repeatable holes: The woodworker used a drill press to bore perfectly perpendicular holes for the dowel joints.
The term distinguishes it from portable drills.
