Sherwood 1500W Pedestal Floor Drill Press

Sherwood's 1500W Drill Press: Stability and Power

We've learned from other manufacturers that you have to be careful with poorly-designed or inferior brands of drill presses this size because when you're speccing a machine with a motor this powerful, every other bit of the machine has to be up to standard. For instance, many of Sherwood's competitors are top heavy, meaning they lose that inherent stability that makes a drill press worthwhile.

If you're going to sacrifice stability, trust us, you're better off buying a drill guide and just setting in for a rough life with a hand drill and a marking gauge because you'll be wasting your money. Sherwood have intigrated all the vibration-reduction technology into the head while balancing the weight perfectly throughout the machine, meaning you can buy a drill press from Sherwood that not only won't overheat in the toughest hardwoods, but will drill as fine and accurately as if it was light as air.

Bigger table means better value

The Sherwood 1500W Drill Press hasn't scrimped on quality anywhere, as you'd expect from the creme-de-la-creme of the Sherwood range. A big, heavy-duty cast-iron table is perfect for a range of jigs, with our drill press range boasting a large amount of specially formulated jigs for the occassion. Well-backed with a range of specialist accessories and a five year warranty, this one of the highest-performing drill presses available at anywhere near this price point.
