Sealey PDM260F 12 Speed Floor Pillar Drill

The Sealey PDM260F is a heavy-duty 12-speed floor pillar drill engineered for precision metalworking and drilling operations in professional workshops. Built around a robust aluminium-bodied induction motor delivering 1100W of power, this floor-standing drill press offers exceptional versatility with a speed range spanning 120-3480rpm across 12 settings, making it suitable for drilling various materials from soft metals to hardened steel. Safety is paramount with this pillar drill, incorporating multiple interlocked protection systems. The no-volt release switch prevents inadvertent start-up after power interruptions, whilst a microswitch-protected pulley cover ensures the drill cannot operate when the cover is open. An electrically interlocked chuck guard provides additional operator protection during use, and an integral work light illuminates the drilling table for enhanced visibility of the workpiece (bulb supplied separately). The 260mm spindle centre-to-column distance provides generous throat capacity for larger workpieces, with the 20mm (3/4") chuck accepting MT4 taper tooling. The large 425 x 475mm square table features precision rack and pinion height adjustment, offering a maximum spindle-to-table distance of 680mm and 120mm spindle travel for deep hole drilling applications. Ideal for fabrication shops, engineering workshops and maintenance facilities requiring accurate vertical drilling capabilities, this floor pillar drill combines industrial-grade construction with user-focused safety features. At 110kg, this is a substantial workshop machine requiring assistance during delivery and installation.
