drill presses
Stationary hole makers
A drill press is a stationary power tool that drives a rotating bit vertically into a workpiece clamped to a fixed table.
Unlike handheld drills, drill presses allow precise control of depth and angle, making them essential for metalworking, woodworking, and manufacturing.
The operator lowers the spinning bit using a lever mechanism: She used the drill press to bore perfectly perpendicular holes.
