A pillar drill holds the drilling head on a vertical column above an adjustable table, so holes are drilled square to the work and in the right place far more reliably than with a hand drill. The table slides up and down the column to suit the job, while the operator feeds the drill down through up to 250 mm of spindle travel. It is the standard machine for marking-out and drilling exercises in fitting shops, and for general drilling in maintenance workshops.
Choose the spindle speed to suit the drill: lower speeds for larger drills and harder metals, higher speeds for small drills. Always clamp the workpiece, keep the guard in place and remove the chuck key before starting. For vocational training workshops, the 1780 mm overall height and compact base make it straightforward to position several machines along a wall.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name, supplies the Pillar Drilling Machine to schools, ITIs, polytechnics, engineering colleges, maintenance workshops, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Multiple machines for a new workshop can be covered in one quotation.
