A '''Drilling Machine''' or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill#Drill_press '''Drill Press'''] is one of the most common machine tools used in the workshop. Although used primarily for drilling holes, they can be used for a number of machining operations including: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reamer reaming], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_and_die tapping], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterbore counterboring], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersink countersinking], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotface spotfacing]. In addition, attachments can be added to enable '''[[Mortising]]''', '''[[Drum Sander|Drum Sanding]]''' and some light duty '''[[Milling Machine|Milling]]''' or '''[[CNC Router|Routing]]''' ''(but care must be taken not to exert too much sideways force or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_%28engineering%29 chuck] may become loosened by vibration)''

The most commonly used '''Drill Press''' for general use is a '''Sensitive Drilling Machine''' and these are suitable for most moderate-to-light duty work. They normally incorporate a belt drive spindle head via double '''[[Cone Pulley|Cone Pulleys]]''' which provide a range of speeds ''(electronic speed controls are also available)''.

The drill chuck is held usually by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_taper#Morse '''Morse Taper'''] inside a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quill_drive '''Quill'''] which can be fed vertically via a '''[[Rack and Pinion]]''' as the spindle is rotated. Hand feeding the tool into the workpiece by this mechanism allows the operator sensitively to to "feel" the cutting action of the tool.

'''Sensitive Drilling Machines''' are available as both a '''Bench Drill''' and a floor-mounted '''Pedestal Drill'''. Both variants usually have tables which can be raised and lowered, also by a '''[[Rack and Pinion]]''' mechanism, and some tables can be tilted to allow drilling at an angle. It is possible also to mount a '''[[Portable Electric Drills|Power Drill]]''' in a stand to provide some of the advantages of a '''Drill Press'''

These are specially useful on larger and heavier parts which may be difficult to position easily, because the the spindle can be positioned directly over the workpiece rather than needing to move the workpiece. The '''Radial Arm Drilling Machine''' can often be coupled with a tilting table, or a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunnion '''trunnion table'''], to drill intersecting and angular holes.
