Drill Stand Forsage F-82971 — bench-mounted drill press stand for handheld drills

Forsage F-82971 drill stand is a bench-mounted support designed to convert handheld drills into a drill press. It provides a stable vertical guide and adjustable clamping to hold a drill for precise perpendicular drilling, repeatable hole placement and improved safety. The stand is suitable for workshop and hobby use where controlled, accurate drilling of wood, plastics and light metals is required, allowing users to perform drilling operations with greater consistency and reduced hand fatigue.

Advantages

The stand offers a rigid column and a sliding carriage that maintains alignment between the drill bit and the workpiece, reducing deviation during drilling. Adjustable clamps secure a variety of handheld drill bodies, while the base plate provides a flat surface for mounting and supporting workpieces. The design enables smooth vertical travel with consistent depth control and helps protect the operator by keeping hands away from the rotating bit.

Suitable for

• Accurate perpendicular drilling of wood
• Drilling holes in plastics and acrylics
• Light metal drilling with appropriate drill bits and speeds
• Hobby, model making and small workshop projects
• Repeatable drilling for jigs and fixtures

Key specifications

• Bench-mounted design with flat base plate for stable installation
• Vertical column with sliding carriage for guided up-and-down movement
• Adjustable clamping mechanism compatible with most handheld drills
• Depth stop or adjustable depth control for repeatable hole depths
• Suitable for workpieces such as wood, plastics and light metals

How to use

Secure the stand to a workbench using appropriate fasteners through the base plate. Attach the handheld drill to the clamping mechanism, ensuring the drill is aligned and tightened to prevent movement. Adjust the carriage height and set the depth stop if required. Position the workpiece on the base, align the drill bit with the intended hole location, and operate the drill while lowering the carriage for a controlled cut. After drilling, raise the carriage and release the drill from the clamp if needed.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drill bits and speed settings for the material being drilled. Clamp small or irregular workpieces securely to the base to prevent movement. Do not exceed the drilling capacity of the handheld drill or the structural limits of the stand. Wear safety glasses and follow standard workshop safety practices when using the drill stand.
