A Drill Press is a heavy duty fixed drill used in many different machining industry applications, as opposed to hand-held drills used by amateurs. It may be used directly on the shop floor if it is a pillar drill type, or mounted on a secure stand if it a bench drill version. They evolved from old pillar drills that were used either in factories or on the field (earth) directly. It has a base, a column (called the pillar), a table, a spindle, and of course the drill head. The drill head is commonly powered with the use of an induction motor.
According to industrial drill press manufacturer Clausing, hole-making is serious business, so they make their drill presses to be as strong as possible. They have built a reputation in the machining industry for the quality of their equipment, and as such, their drill presses are ubiquitous throughout machining plants across the country—and even the world.
