What is a Radial Arm Drill?
A radial arm drill is a powerful pillar drill featuring an extendable arm that allows the drill head to move horizontally and vertically, making it perfect for large workpieces. This flexibility eliminates the need for repositioning, ensuring efficient and accurate drilling every time.
Although modern radial arm drills now include enhanced safety features, improved efficiency, and refined control mechanisms, their fundamental design has remained largely unchanged for over a century. The same core principles that made these machines indispensable in early engineering workshops still apply today, with robust construction and a design that prioritises versatility and reliability.
