Benchtop Drill Press Stand for #30 and 1-inch (25.4 mm) Handpieces
This drill press stand provides a simple and effective way to convert your flex-shaft handpiece into a precision benchtop drill. It offers the stability and control needed for accurate, repeatable drilling tasks that are difficult to achieve by hand.
The stand features a machined cast iron base, table, and housing. This heavy construction, weighing 7.00 kg, provides a solid platform that dampens vibration and ensures the handpiece remains perpendicular to the workpiece. The lever action provides controlled, smooth plunging, compatible with Foredom #30 style and other 1-inch (25.4 mm) diameter handpieces.
Ideal for drilling precise pilot holes in jewellery components, creating consistent holes for model engineering, or for any repetitive drilling task in small-scale production.

Is this the right tool for you?
Best for
- UK jewellers needing to drill precise, repeatable holes in sheet or wire.
- Model engineers creating small, accurate components from brass or aluminium.
- Hobbyists and makers requiring more precision than a handheld drill offers.
- Workshops with existing flex-shaft systems seeking to add drilling capability.
Not for
- Heavy-duty industrial drilling; this is for smaller, precision tasks.
- Use with handpieces larger or smaller than 1-inch (25.4 mm) diameter.
- Drilling large diameter holes in hardened steel.
