Drill machine Scheppach DP60 — corded bench/drill press model DP60

The Scheppach DP60 is a corded bench drill press designed to provide stable, vertical drilling for metal, wood and plastic. Its compact footprint and rigid construction make it suitable for workshop benches where consistent hole positioning and repeatable results are required. The machine is intended for precise single-hole operations as well as small series work, offering a reliable solution for DIY, repair and light production tasks.

Advantages

The Scheppach DP60 delivers steady spindle alignment and a fixed column that reduces runout during drilling. Its corded power supply ensures continuous operation without battery limitations, and the compact design saves workbench space while maintaining accessibility to the drill head and chuck. The unit's build supports accurate depth control and comfortable handling of drill bits for repeatable outcomes.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in metal sheets, bars and small parts
• Woodworking tasks such as dowel, hinge and pilot hole drilling
• Plastic fabrication and fitting operations
• Hobbyist bench projects and light repair work
• Small batch or repetitive drilling operations

Key specifications

• Bench/vertical drill press configuration for upright drilling
• Corded mains power operation for continuous use
• Rigid column and base for stable machining
• Adjustable drill head height and depth stop for controlled drilling depth
• Chuck suitable for common twist drill bits (standard capacity according to model)
• Compact footprint for efficient use of bench space

How to use

Secure the drill press to a stable bench or work surface before connecting to mains power. Select a drill bit appropriate for the material and insert it into the chuck, tightening securely. Adjust the table height and position the workpiece, using clamps or a vise to prevent movement. Set the desired drilling depth with the depth stop and choose a suitable spindle speed if the model provides speed control. Apply steady feed pressure and drill with a consistent, controlled motion. After drilling, switch off the machine and allow the spindle to stop before removing the workpiece or changing the bit.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid to extend bit life and improve finish. Clamp small or irregularly shaped workpieces securely to avoid spinning. Maintain the drill press by keeping the column and feed mechanism clean and periodically checking chuck tightness and electrical connections.
