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 bit is mounted on a vertical column, allowing for accurate depth control and consistent hole placement. Drill presses come in different sizes and types, including benchtop and floor models. They are commonly used in workshops and manufacturing settings, providing greater accuracy and efficiency compared to handheld drills. Safety features, such as guards and emergency stops, are often included to protect users.
