Shop drill presses are stationary drilling machines that rotate bits held in a vertically mounted drill head and drive them downward to make holes in workpieces. They support work on the table below the drill head, and they maintain consistent alignment to create more accurate holes than handheld drills. Depending on the type of bits used, shop drills may ream, countersink, counterbore, tap, or perform other holemaking operations. They are used in metal fabrication, machining, maintenance, and woodworking applications. Drill presses for metal workpieces typically spin bits at low speeds with high torque. Drill presses for wood workpieces typically spin bits at high speeds with low torque.
