The unit offers a high quality machined work table of ribbed die-cast aluminum (work table size 8 1/2" x 4 3/4" (220 x 120mm)) providing an adjustable parallel fence with scale. The solid, hard-chromed steel column is 11" high (280mm) and has a diameter of 4/5" (20mm). The powerful motor, which is built into the super stable die-cast head of the machine, runs very quiet and has a long life expectancy. The power transmission by 3-step aluminum pulleys and flat belt provides 3 spindle speeds of 1,800, 4,700 and 8,500rpm allowing triple torque at lower speeds. The chrome feed lever has a practical adjustable drilling depth gauge. The spindle is essentially free of play as a result of the three high quality ball bearing assemblies. It is recessed for the insertion of MICROMOT steel collets, but also threaded for attaching drill chucks with 3/8" thread. The spindle has an extremely high rotational accuracy and a 1 3/16" (30mm) feed. The quill diameter is 1 1/4" (32mm) with return spring, the throat depth (column to drill spindle) is 5 1/2" (140mm). The unit provides quick coarse height adjustment of the headstock via clamp lever. The max. height (worktable surface to spindle end) is 5 1/2" 140mm). Technical data: 110 - 120V, 60Hz, 85W (0.115hp), speeds 1,800/ 4,700/8,500rpm. The unit comes with six triple slit MICROMOT precision steel collets in sizes 1/32", 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64" and 1/8" (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0 and 3.2mm). To clamp work pieces we recommend using either one of our machine vises or the X-Y table KT 70 to convert this machine into a high-precision machining center.

The PROXXON Precision Bench Drill Press is a small machine with limited size and power, but that is what it is made for.Even with those limitations I have been able to complete a decent amount of drilling and countersinking various types of soft steels. It does a great job and the portability is very convenient.I purchased and use the optional chuck.

I had previously bought the small drill press that is available at many places, under different brand names (at least in pics they appear the same, sometimes different colors), for approx $100.00 and it was fine but I had not seen this one when I bought that one. So through no fault of its own (I was carelessly moving the table and it fell off), I broke its base (though, impressively, it still worked) and that gave me excuse to get this one as a replacement. This is a huge upgrade. well worth the higher price. This Proxxon is significantly better and well-engineered, easier to adjust, has a built-in straight edge to line up and steady target, works very cleanly and smoothly. Another example of nicer build quality: the cover of the other one snapped on and off by two annoying little tabs which did not hold the cover on well, the top was constantly popping off at even a slight bump. The Proxxon has a solid bolt-on top that stays on like it should yet is still easy to remove if desired to change the band. So this Proxxon is well worth the price but glad I learned my lesson not to carelessly move the table with the cheap one.

So here's the thing, it's a pretty good drill press if you have tiny stuff to work on. The system for changing drill bits is pretty bad and finding and buying the optional chuck is probably a smart move. The machine seems well made and mine was brand new (I read some reviews on these that sounded like re-furbs were sent out) so no complaints there.The biggest issue is the quality of the sliding bar on the base of the press. Not sure what it is called but it's the bar that the mini vise would attach to and/or other accessories. It has a thumb screw to tighten the bar (once you set it were you want it) but it NEVER gets tight. Not even close to tight. It just wobbles all over the place which means your accuracy on drilling goes way down. Had I known how bad that one feature was I'd have skipped this drill press completely so buyer beware.With that said, with some work I think I can make it better but I shouldn't have to and neither should you. If this one thing was fixed (and others complain of it as well so my fault for not listening) it would get 5 stars easily.

Smaller in size than I expected but still perfectly usable for my purpose (drilling PCB through-holes). Spindle and collet system run true enough to easily drill 0.3mm holes. I can't do 0.2mm or 0.25mm reliably but then I haven't bolted down the machine for extra stability like they recommend. Also I'm holding the workpiece freehand rather than clamping it down securely. In any case, this drill machine beats a dremel rotary tool mounted in their $50 drill stand by a large margin.Initially there was problem with the machine when I opened it to change the belt to the higher-speed setting. The "set screws" for the motor-side "gear thingy" were coming out and would clearly eat into the belt as it operated. These set screws are basically intended to stay "sunked in" on the high-speed track of the motor-side gear thingy. So I tightened them as best I could but when I turned on the machine, the centrifugal force caused them to roll back out and damage the belt. I explained my situation to proxxon support and thankfully they sent a new belt by express mail at no charge. I've taken out the set screws entirely and it seems to work OK so I'm not sure what they're really good for. If you get one with loose set screws I personally recommend removing them rather than trying to secure them properly. AFAICT, it's not easy to secure them because there is no "head" to these screws.

Excellent tool for my homebrewed printed circuit boards. A 5.5inch (140mm) drill to column distance enables drilling in large size materials.

Works very well for small, precise drilling thru plexi, wood, plastic, brass, etc. As another reviewer pointed out, clearing the quill with a collet held stationary was necessary to minimize run-out. Out of the box, the drill bit was noticeably off center, after clearing the quill and when using a collet, there is no perceptible run out. Very impressive for a drill in this price range. I compared this drill to a much more expensive drill in a friend's shop and found no practical difference. My only criticism is the motor, it is not a high quality motor. Its noisy and vibrates some, but not enough to effect the work.

This drill press is made to drill tiny holes. I use it for #6o drill bits and smaller. What material you choose to make holes in will determine drill speed, and vertical feed rate.The quill, the part that rotates is supported by precision bearing races. This makes the rotational error very small.Collets are supplied with the machine and are very accurate and well made.I bought the additional small adjustable chuck. This will allow me to drill holes up to 1/4 inch.This drill press cannot be used as a larger machine can be ie. 1/2" holes, using sanding drums , or large wood drill bits. It does precision drilling with tiny drill bits extremely well.Common users would be : jewellers, watch makers, circuit board makers, prototype makers.

No se como habÃa fabricado PCBs de forma "manual" sin este taladro de banco. Su precisión es increible, baja sin ningun juego mecánico, pude hacer perforaciones de 0.3mm sin problemas, sin quebrar brocas. Tengo un dremel con la columna vertical pero este Proxxon es mucho mejor, esta en una dimensión totalmente diferente. Tanto el taladro como los accesorios tienen un acabado mecanizado de increible precisión. Lo recomiendo mucho!

Adquirà este taladrito después de leer muchas reseñas, incluso algunas negativas. Efectivamente, algunos de los problemas indicados existen (los mencionaré en los cons), pero la calidad de los materiales es muy buena. Junto con él, adquirà la mesa XY "Proxxon 27100 Micro Compound Table KT 70 ", la mordaza "Proxxon 28132 Machine Vise MS 4 ", el broquero "Proxxon 28122 Chuck for Drill Bits up to 15/64-Inch for TBM 115 " y el juego de brocas "Proxxon 28874 HSS Twist Drill Set, 10-Piece ", todo funciona de maravilla con el taladro.Recomiendo ampliamente adquirir alguna de las mordazas y el juego de brocas.PROS:1: Buena construcción.2: Materiales de buena calidad.3: Cable largo.4: Sin vibraciones y razonablemente silencioso.CONS:1: Se siente que algo raspa al bajar la palanca, pero al parecer se soluciona fácil de acuerdo a una reseña de amazon.com2: Es incómodo de manejar la guÃa, siendo necesario inclinar el taladro para meter la mano abajo y sostener las tuerca.3: La guÃa es muy imprecisa para ciertas tareas.4: La base no es perfectamente plana.5: Los collarines no aceptan accesorios de más de 6mm de diámetro.

Excellent build quality. Spinning the arbor by hand the T.I.R. was 0.0003".Smooth downfeed and very little vibration.Excellent for drilling 0.033" holes in PCBs.Unit gets a little warm after 10 minutes of operation but stays quiet throughout.

I bought two of those. Magnificent precision...no measurable runout. I have drilled down to 0.0038" diameter with this and the drill bit survived (with a collet...not a chuck) thanks to the perfect concentricity of the spindle. Highly recommended !
