Pillar Drills - General Stores, Hardware and Tools
Pillar drills, also called drill presses, are fixed workshop machines used for accurate drilling, countersinking, reaming, and light tapping of metal, wood, and plastic. On ships, they are typically installed in engine-room, deck, or ship-repair workshops.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Pillar Drills for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
