The Drill Press is similar to a Hand Drill, but is much more repeatable. Like the hand drill, the Drill Press is used to make holes in plastic or metal, but the drill press automatically ensures that the hole is straight vertically, and vises and clamping jigs allow work to be held securely and safely.
