Hand and Power Tools - Drill Press, and more

What is a drill press?

• A special tool for flattening out a drill that expanded when the bit got stuck.

• A power tool (usually large) that has a drill bit that can be lowered down to a table to drill precise holes.

• A tool that is easier to use than a regular drill because it holds the bit perfectly plumb even if the operator does not have a good eye for plumb.

• A tool for taking wrinkles out of the housing of a used drill.

If you had to drill a hole 14 inches in from the edge of a piece of wood for your project...

• Throat capacity isn't really a thing.

What is the "rear post" of a drill press?

• The only post that attaches the base, table, and drill assembly together.

• The place on the basketball court where it is best to dribble behind your back.

The measurement from the middle of the chuck to the closest edge of the rear post is known as the

• Throat Capacity

• The "center to outside" measurement

• The "center to center" measurement

• The "outside to outside" measurement
