Pendant Motor Drill Press

The FDPDP30 Drill Presses are designed for use with FD30 & FD44T Handpieces matched with any Foredom flexible shaft Pendant Motor.Our drill presses securely hold your handpieces in a fixed vertical position ensuring accurate, straight and true drilling of holes to specified depths. They are also ideal for modelling, spot-facing, countersinking and reaming in wood, wax, plastic, metal, glass and gemstone.For drilling, generally high speed steel, carbide and diamond drills are most often used. Whatever accessory you use, let the speed of the tool do the work. Too much feeding pressure can damage or break your drill and may cause loss of control. Twist drills are often used for drilling holes in metals, woods and plastics.On work items with rounded surfaces such as rods, it is a good idea to center punch a starting hole to keep the tip of the drill from "walking" or wandering from the desired starting point. When drilling lift the drill up and down frequently to clear away dust and debris.
