Review: great pillr drill, sturdy but also light enough to be easily portable - lives up to the Hype, great small pillar drill... stable but so light and very easy to move around. Very easy to use with twist control on front, flexible for different materials. Decent torque but fades off a lower RPM if you press on too aggressively, but I need to be more patient.. high recommended. only niggle laser gets blocked by many of my bits so not as useful as I'd hoped... built in light is helpful though...
Review: Fiddly to get used to, but a great tool when you are used to it - Getting used to moving the drill head to set the position is easy, just remember to release the depth stop (or put it high) so that you can then move it to actually drill. Love the variable speed and the one-knob controls. Setting the clamp is a bit stiff on the shaft (I want to try some machine wax to see if that helps). The laser cross is good, and the built-in light. Simple safety cut-off, just press the control knob to stop everything. Some complaints about drill bit wobble, but I've not found that, and I find the wheel easy to use. The parallel guide works OK, my only complaint is that the high side of it gets in the way of the clamp, if you are working with something lower - I was working with 26mm wood, and the fence is higher, so had to turn it around and use the edge of the flat side. Not a big deal, and no doubt if it was 25mm high, others would have the same issue with 24mm stock... First job was to drill and countersink 42 4.5mm holes 8mm from the edge of the timber - worked a treat and fully justified the purchase, so very happy bunny here.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would it be possible to replace the 13mm Bosch chuck with a standard 16mm twist-lock one? The Bosch one seems fiddly and could be too small.**
A: I replaced it with a Röhm Supra-S (Model No. 871050). The answer that states there is no provision for changing the chuck is incorrect. The supplied chuck (Röhm Supra-SK E) isn't specified for a pillar drill, while the Supra-S is. I also changed the bearing out for an NSK 6002DDUCM (n.b. this isn't an entirely simple undertaking, so approach at your own risk). The drill is a lot more accurate now with those two upgrades.

**Q: Why does it mention battery state when it is mains powered ?**
A: Because Amazon thought they would intrigue you by adding totally irrelevant information about the Bosch PSB 10.8 LI-2 Cordless Hammer Drill. Perhaps in readiness for the first of April?

**Q: I need to store this drill in a cabinet. What would be the minimum size box it would fit in fully assembled? Given dim. are shipping dim. Thanks!**
A: Hello - sorry for the delay - I've just measured it and the footprint is 33cm wide and 35cm deep. The top of the pillar is 66.5cm. In practise you would want your cabinet to slightly exceed these dimensions.

**Q: Can you use drum sanding attachments with this?**
A: I don't know. I wouldn't try it. The drill press is too small and not made for that much work.  Get a cheap $200 one from Harbor Freight with a belt, not a gear box like this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by D***D on 30 October 2018*

I was on the fence about whether or not to buy a traditional style belt driven pillar drill for approx £50 or spend the extra cash on this. I decided that the time saved in not having to change belts to adjust the speed was worth it alone as I am constantly switching between metal work and wood work and changing speed fast is essential for my job as a professional prop builder for the TV industry. The only slight gripe I have with the machine is the Chuck. It's not awful but it's also not the best hand tightening Chuck I've ever used. It doesn't seem to have a particularly positive feel to it when tightening up a bit. For most jobs it seems to grip the bit just fine but when fitted with a 35mm forstner bit, and drilling into 18mm ply the bit had a tendency to slip in the Chuck which is less than ideal. The same also happened with some metal bits when a touch too much pressure was applied the bit would slip. I decided the simplest and most cost effective solution was to order a 1/2 inch Shank keyed Chuck and simply swap them over. It was a 30second job and now the drill bits don't slip and I can get a decent amount of grip on anything I put in the Chuck. I'm not entirely sure why Bosch didn't supply it with a keyed Chuck in the first place but there you go. Anyway, it's a more useable tool with the new Chuck. The laser cross is pretty accurate, and accurate enough for quickly locating where to put the wood or center punched metal and then make fine adjustments to make sure the bit goes in the right place. The work light is ok, it could do with being a touch brighter but it's fine. The depth gauge is excellent and one of the best features on this drill. Very actuate for drilling the same depth hole time and time again and great for countersinking multiple holes to the correct depth. The drill seems relatively square, there is a tiny amount of movement in the pillar when applying a lot of pressure to the workpiece which tends to put the second hole in 50mm box section slightly off but as long as you don't apply too much pressure the drill is quite square for most of my needs. I'm sure a bit of tweaking with the grub screw will tighten everything up. The steering wheel handle is quirky but seems to work fine for me. Some people complain about it, I think it's just fine. The clamp is also a very handy feature but if too much pressure is applied this also pushes the pillar back and can put the bit slightly out of square. Again, I'm sure once I've tweaked the grub screw this may not be an issue. I may even add some More grub screws to clamp the pillar from the front as well to belt and braces it. All in all, a thoroughly recommended bench drill, lightweight, great torque for drilling metal and wood with large bits. I absolutely love it and wish I had spent the money years ago as it would have made my life much easier a long time ago....!
