A drill press is a stationary power tool used for drilling precise holes in various materials, such as wood, metal, and plastic. It consists of a motor, a drill bit, and a table that can be adjusted for height and angle. The drill press allows for greater accuracy and control compared to handheld drills, making it ideal for tasks that require consistent depth and alignment. Drill presses come in different sizes and types, including bench-top and floor models. They often feature adjustable speeds, enabling users to select the appropriate setting for different materials. Safety features, such as guards and emergency shut-off switches, are also common to protect users during operation.
