How do the pillar drills work?

Our Pillar Drills is a free standing machine. It uses a motor to rotate a drill bit, which is attached to a sliding column. The drill bit is held in place with a set of clamping teeth call the chuck. You can tighten the chuck with a tool called the chuck key. The sliding column is moved up and down by loosening the screw to the right of the machine and sliding the table up or down, then thighten to screw again to hold the table in place. The table of the pillar drill is locked in place, it is always the drill bit that moves.

The majority of the mechanism is enclosed for safety. The drill bit should be covered by the adjustable guard when in use.
