FAQs

Match capacity to the largest drill bit you'll use, and motor power to the materials. For light workshop use (drilling holes up to 13mm in steel, larger holes in wood), 13mm chuck with 500-750W motor is sufficient. For heavier fabrication work (16-20mm holes in steel, drilling cast iron and aluminium), 16mm chuck with 750W-1kW motor is the trade standard. For industrial fabrication (20-25mm+ holes in heavy steel, with fly cutters), 20mm+ chuck with 1.5kW+ motor and Morse Taper MT3 spindle.

More speeds give finer matching of speed to material and bit size — important for both bit life and hole quality. 5-speed drills cover basic workshop use. 12-speed drills give finer adjustment for varied workshop work. Variable-speed drills (with electronic speed control) give continuous adjustment from low (for large bits in steel) to high (small bits in wood) — most flexible for varied work.

A bench-mounted pillar drill is shorter, sits on a workbench or stand, and suits smaller workshop spaces and lighter work — typical chuck capacity 13-16mm. A floor-standing drill has a longer column, more spindle travel, and a larger working table — typical chuck capacity 16-25mm with greater motor power. For occasional and light use, bench-mounted is sufficient; for daily fabrication work, floor-standing gives better drilling-depth capacity and more stable footprint.

Yes. Replacement bearings, drive belts, motor brushes (where fitted), spindle-quill components, switches, and replacement chucks (matched by mounting-taper size — typically B16 or B18) are available for the majority of Draper, SIP, and Sealey pillar drills.

Pillar Drill

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Within Workshop Power Tools, Pillar Drill (also called bench drill, floor drill, or column drill) covers the fixed and floor-standing drills used for accurate, repeatable hole-drilling in workshop fabrication, engineering, and repair work. Pillar drills offer the depth, alignment, and feed control that handheld drills can't match — essential for precision drilling in metal, wood, and plastic, and for jobs needing consistent hole depth across multiple workpieces.

Parts for Machines supplies pillar drills across the trade and professional ranges, with rated chuck capacities typically running from 13mm (bench-mounted compact units) up to 25mm and above (floor-standing industrial drills for heavy fabrication).

We are an authorised distributor and seller of Draper, SIP, and Sealey across the pillar drill range. SIP and Sealey cover trade-grade bench and floor-standing drills with morse-taper or keyed-chuck spindle tooling, geared spindle speeds (typically 5-12 speeds), and motor outputs from 350W (light bench use) up to 1.5kW+ (heavy industrial drilling). Draper extends the range with workshop and home-shop variants at competitive trade pricing.

Product pages list the rated chuck capacity, the motor power (in W or kW), the speed range and number of speeds (geared belt-shift on most trade drills, with electronic variable-speed on higher-end models), the spindle taper (Morse Taper MT2, MT3, or MT4 — for fitting reduction sleeves and tapered tooling), the table size and tilt range, the maximum drill depth (the spindle stroke), and the column diameter and height. For metal drilling, slow speeds with cutting fluid produce the cleanest holes and longest bit life. For wood, fast speeds with light feed pressure work best. Trade pricing on multi-unit and workshop fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
