Silverline 262212 – 350W 250mm (10″) DIY Bench Drill Press 230V
Manufacturer’s Description
An integral part of every woodworker’s and metal worker’s workshop and tool collection, the bench drill press lets you drill accurately and confidently, even in thin metal plates. Ideal for both keen DIY enthusiasts and professionals, the Silverline Bench Drill Press has it all with a 5-speed belt drive for versatility and control, and chuck/spindle travel (drilling depth) of 0-50mm for unparalleled accuracy and precise control of depth, hole position and angle entry into the workpiece. The strong cast base and machine table provide a firm foundation to work on and features a 13mm keyed chuck capacity. It also provides a stable platform when using accessories compatible with a normal chuck. Getting better results for clean holes than a hand-held drill, the Silverline Bench Drill Press combines a fixed head with an adjustable table, providing stability, power and speed.
The fixed head does not move or jump, allowing you to create precise cuts and bores in the material of your choice.
– Spindle travel (drilling depth): 0 – 50mm with gauge
– Sturdy cast base and machine table
– For drilling jobs where a high degree of accuracy is required

Have used it a few times now and no issues.
A good addition to my garage. A good low budget range drill that will cope with most jobs a diy’er will need it for.
Mine had an issue with the power switching off worked out it was the interlock in the belt hood needed adjustment. All good now and happily drilling holes
Good drill I had to grind the base down as the casting was wonky to enable base to sit flat and not rock around this wouldn’t be a problem if I were bolting to a bench as you’d just shim and bolt but I wanted it mobile
Drills straight and true easy speed adjustment via belt and easy tensioning
I’ve drilled 6mm holes in 8mm annealed W2 carbon steel. Thoroughly immobilised the piece of steel, used a M42 cobalt HSS bit, reducing the drill speed to 580rpm and used plenty of oil. This might seem like a low cost and low power drill press but used properly it works very well. Reviews that say it is only good for thin metal are incorrect.
I haven’t used it much yet, so can’t comment on its accuracy, although I can’t detect any wobble as others have reported. The only problem was with the safety switch under the top cover. At first, the motor appeared to be dead, but on closer examination the plastic actuator (which presses on a micro-switch when the top cover is in place) wasn’t aligned correctly. In fact the top cover was slightly distorted where it had been forced on over the misaligned actuator. Simple enough to fix but a bit annoying.
Packing and delivery was good, but the manufacturer’s quality control is a bit lacking.
Great to use, goes through steel and other metals smoothly.
Great little drill press for an amateur ( which let’s be honest most of us are ! ) , how accurate is it to drill a few holes, who cares, what do you want for 95 !!!! Buy it as a first drill press and upgrade in a few years when you have some hairs on your chest.
Excellent tool, very useful. I like silverline tools, generally good quality and well priced!
This product is just like my old one and that lasted about 20 years.
Bought for my husbands birthday and he couldn’t bear to be parted from it! It was assembled and found pride of place on top of our shoe cupboard in the kitchen. Every scrap of wood that was flat soon sported holes and I was expected to admire their accuracy! Vices (yes plural) were bought to add to it and stored next to the drill. At least the end result now will hold things vertically and when full not resemble spines radiating from a hedgehog!
A lovely piece of kit, good value for money and, thankfully has now been moved to the garage! Threats were made!!!
Bought as a present for my son who reckons it ticks all the boxes at a very reasonable price. It is what you would expect from this reliable brand.
I bought this after buying a fairly useless drill stand.
It was reasonably easy to put together, only issue I had was the instructions never told me to put the guard on before the chuck. Thankfully I managed to get it on.
Well built and works well, only downside is the table is not on a rack and pinion to move which makes it a bit awkward. Overall a great buy for the money.
