UPDATE 2022: Still going strong after several years of use. Since my first review I’m now using it on hard woods – steamed beech, maple, rosewood. Also used on brass, copper, acrylic, Jesmonite with no problem. If you’re trying to push this drill beyond small work, don’t expect it to perform like a normal bench drill. I already have one of those for larger work. Tools should be used within it’s limitations. Also, get decent quality drill bits to suit the material, these are often more important than the machine itself. I find using half the drill bit (inserted further into the chuck), I can avoid any flexing that can happen with small diameter bits. This is especially helpful with hard slippery materials like end grain woods, acrylic or brass.Excellent so far! I make wooden jewellery, and needed something that drilled perfectly perpendicular holes with a depth of upto 25mm. This does the job with no problems. The drill runs super smooth and solid, and for such a small thing, it thankfully weighs a good amount, so no need for mounting onto a table, I just sit it on a rubber mat.It feels like a solid build except for the speed dial which is a rough flimsy plastic, not a big deal though. There are things I would not do on this. The speed seems excessively fast on the medium setting spindle, and I can see this getting hot if used for long-ish drilling (say for harder materials such as stone). I have mine set on the slowest spindle which is fine for my semi-hard woods, and I also drill by ‘wood peckering’, going in and out to avoid heating/burning.All said, this is a god send compared to the crappy Dremel workstation drill press I was using before. I was considering the Proxxon mini drill, but that’s over £200, so you can imagine my delight when I saw the Katsu for sale at under £50. This really is a great tool when used with consideration and caution.BTW If anyone needs spare parts, there’s a UK seller on that well known auction site, selling spare motors, drive belts and even extra chucks for the Katsu drill.

Small enough to bring out on a desk or workbench for miniature drilling jobs. Hasn’t got a lot of power so you have to apply torque slowly and carefully, but at least you can use standard twist drills and tool bits unlike a Dremel which uses a collet bit. Reasonably easy to assemble/disassemble and the whole machine feels robust so should give plenty of hours use.

This is a nice compact drill and does exactly what you need, as long as you don’t want to go above about 5mm drill size. Up to that size, it’s really accurate and smooth. Its its on my workbench and does not need bolting down. I have used it to drill wood, plastic and aluminium. The speed control is good, and it maintains a stable speed when drilling, as long as you drill through your material at a sensible speed. I also use it for countersinking 3mm holes, and being perfectly vertical, you get a really nice concentric contersink.

Very good value, heavy enough to be a stable platform for accurate work, light enough to move around.Decent chuck too. Ideal for light model engineering work, very capable little machine tool. I’d like a slightly more refined speed control but overall it’s a great piece of kit for the money.

Good bench drill for hobby/diy activities. Bought it to drill holes in epoxy details. Did the job for 1.5mm drilling 25mm deep. I haven’t test it yet with harder stuff like metals and wood.It was a piece of cake to install it and get it running. I can’t really get it how someone could struggle with the assembly.Pros:Not too loud and small enough to store it anywhere.Great value for money.ConsThere’s no vice included in the kit. So it does worth buying a vice for it. I went for the one from the same brand.Motor not powerful. Though for the small, precise jobs it’s doing fine.

purchased this to drill circuit boards with tiny brittle drill bits and it’s very good indeed for that purpose. the chuck holds the bits perfectly straight and it makes precision drilling very easy, highly recommended

I rarely post a product review, but felt the need to do so on this occasion for reasons that will become clear!I took delivery of this pillar drill about an hour ago, and already know I’ve made the right choice. I needed something that I could use for hobby purposes, and as space (& finances!) we’re limited, I decided to buy this (my first ever pillar drill….).Assembly was quick and easy, and even the handle that has caused a few people some frustration, screwed in without problem (you just need to get the angle right!). I’ve seen it suggested that wearing a pair of latex gloves for unpacking/assembly is a good idea, as the items (understandably) have a protective oily coating, and I agree with this. No problem wiping any excess off with kitchen roll/cloth, although mine wasn’t too bad at all.I already had an intended first use for the drill, which was boring 2.5mm holes through a 10mm thick aluminium mount for a nitro engine (to be fitted in a radio controlled helicopter). After ordering the drill, and before it was received, I was looking at YouTube videos and reading all the reviews on it, and started to get the impression that it may not be up to the job as it only has a 100 watt motor – so much so that I nearly cancelled the order. But, I needn’t have worried, and I’m so glad that I didn’t…So, with an old engine mount for testing purposes, I inserted the drill bit & clamped the mount in a drill vice bought yesterday to go with the drill. With a little trepidation (as already mentioned, my first pillar drill), I set the drill to an appropriate speed, and gently drilled down a couple of mm. I then lifted it up, added a little 3 in 1 oil (thanks YouTube!), and drilled down a little more. After repeating this a few times, I was through! It took way less time than I imagined, and the hole was as clean as a whistle – the drilling was very accurate with no wobble whatsoever. I then tapped the hole with an M3 tap (first time ever doing this as well!), and the test was complete. To say I was happy is an understatement!Enough waffle – to summarise, I’m delighted with the drill. Obviously I have no idea of it’s longevity, but it won’t get heavy use, so imagine it will last a very long time. Highly recommended!!

dislike, possibly runs too fast, i am in the process of making a larger driven pulley, this should give a 4 to1 reduction , instead of 2 to1 as supplied.
