Product Information

It has two gears, which are easy to switch between via a lever on the side of the unit, with the 710-watt motor supporting speeds from 200 rpm right up to 2500 rpm, and a constant electronic control system ensuring a consistent drill speed, even when used on hard materials. Q : I'm looking for a compact pillar drill that is powerful enough to easily drill into hardwood (primarily oak) with a Forstner 38mm drill bit.

Drilling speeds and depths can be viewed on the digital display or adjusted using the knob underneath for stepless speed adjustments.

A 'normal' keyless chuck would suit me better, but this one works and I suspect I will get so used to it that it isn't an issue any more.I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's easily on a par with other Bosch power tools I've bought. I bought this drill because i need to drill accurate bolt holes in my model aircraft propellers amonst other things. The reason I ask is that I don't use a DP as such, but a reasonably high torque power drill in a Wabeco unit.

This isn't the first Bosch i've given bad notes for, perhaps the fact that they are produced in china has alot to answer for the bad quality control; and it's poor. So far i have not bothered to make use of the electronic depth guage, still preferring to mark a depth stop on the bit with some coloured tape. There is a reason that every other pillar drill has always had a 3 spoked handle, and that's because it works the best. So much for the appalling packaging (I should really have refused reception for it to be sent back directly - sound familiar?
