Sealey GDM180B 16 Speed Bench Pillar Drill

The Sealey GDM180B is a 16-speed bench pillar drill designed for light industrial, agricultural and woodworking applications. This versatile drill press combines precision engineering with comprehensive safety features, making it suitable for professional workshops and educational environments.

Built to meet Safety of Machinery (Safety) Directives 1992 and subsequent amendments, this bench drill features rack and pinion feed shafts with adjustable preset depth control for accurate repetitive drilling operations. The 20mm capacity chuck with MT3 Morse taper spindle housing accepts taper shank drill bits, whilst the 16-speed drive system provides a speed range from 120 to 3000rpm, allowing you to match drilling speeds to different materials and bit sizes.

The 550W motor delivers reliable performance across diverse drilling tasks. With a spindle travel of 80mm and spindle centre to column distance of 216mm, this pillar drill offers sufficient capacity for most general drilling applications. The Ø355mm working table provides a stable platform, whilst the 520 x 320mm base ensures firm mounting on your workbench.

Safety is prioritised throughout the design, with full guarding making it appropriate for educational use. The no-voltage switch with locking cover prevents accidental starting, whilst mechanical protection denies access to drive belts during operation. Optional mortise attachment available for enhanced functionality.
