what are pillar drills used for?
Column drills are a type of tool used to drill precise holes in different types of materials, such as plastic, metal or wood. The main difference compared to portable drills is that pillar drills are fixed on a vertical column to offer more precision and better stability in drilling. They are mainly used in workshops and industries where precise holes need to be drilled repeatedly.
At Intermaquinas we want to help by offering this small guide with the main features of the pillar drills so you can decide which type of drill is best suited to your needs.
- Stability and accuracy: Column drills offer greater stability and accuracy than other drills because the vertical column provides a solid base and reduces vibrations during drilling.
- Height and depth adjustment: Typically, the drill head of a pillar drill can be adjusted in height along the entire length of the pillar, allowing holes to be drilled from different heights and in different sizes of workpieces. In addition, the drilling depth can be adjusted.
- Variable drilling speed: The vast majority of pillar drills have drilling speed settings to adjust the spindle rotation speed to suit the type of material and drill bit size used.
- Adjustable worktable: An adjustable worktable is usually included with pillar drills. These tables can be tilted, adjusted or rotated according to the needs of the moment.
- Safe workpiece clamping: Column drills are equipped with clamping devices that serve to keep the workpiece steady and immovable during drilling. This improves drilling accuracy and safety.
- Power: A pillar drill should be available in different layers and capacities, from small models for domestic use to industrial and powerful drills. Depending on the model, the power and capacity of the drill varies.
From Intermaquinas we want to offer the most varied catalog of pillar drills possible, always keeping the best possible price with the highest quality brands on the market. In addition, our team of consultants is available to answer your questions at any time. Do not hesitate to call us.
