GDM150B 16 Speed Bench Pillar Drill

The Sealey GDM150B is a 16-speed bench pillar drill designed for light industrial, agricultural and woodworking applications. This versatile bench drill combines precision engineering with comprehensive safety features, making it suitable for professional workshops, agricultural settings and educational establishments. Built to meet Safety of Machinery (Safety) Directives 1992 and amendments, this pillar drill features rack and pinion feed shafts with adjustable preset depth control for accurate repetitive drilling operations. The 16-speed configuration provides a speed range of 120-3000rpm, allowing operators to select the optimal drilling speed for different materials and bit sizes. The Morse taper spindle housing accepts taper shank drill bits for enhanced versatility. Safety is prioritised throughout the design, with a no-voltage release switch that prevents accidental starting and allows insurance company approval for educational use. Drive belt access is mechanically protected during operation, and the fully guarded construction meets requirements for use in teaching environments. The 16mm capacity chuck with No. 2 Morse taper provides secure bit holding, whilst the 80mm spindle travel and 178mm spindle centre to column distance offer sufficient working capacity for typical bench drilling tasks. The robust 80mm diameter column and substantial 60kg weight ensure stability during operation, with a 450W motor (650W starting power) providing reliable performance. An optional mortise attachment (Model No. MA10) extends the machine's capability for woodworking applications.
