Drill Stand Vorel 380–430 mm model 796401 for bench and workshop drilling

The Vorel 380–430 mm drill stand model 796401 is a bench and workshop accessory designed to convert handheld drills into a guided drilling tool. With an adjustable column height between 380 and 430 mm, the stand secures the drill in a vertical alignment and provides a stable platform for controlled, repeatable drilling operations. It is intended to improve drilling accuracy and maintain consistent perpendicular holes in a range of materials.

Advantages

The stand offers adjustable height to accommodate different drill sizes and workpiece profiles while delivering stable clamping and guided linear movement. Its rigid column and mounting mechanism reduce wobble and help maintain perpendicularity during drilling. The design supports repeatable positioning and improved accuracy compared with freehand drilling, making it suitable for bench-mounted tasks in small workshops or hobby environments.

Suitable for

• Drilling precise vertical holes in metal components
• Woodworking bench operations and furniture making
• DIY projects requiring repeatable drilling positions
• Light to medium workshop repairs and assembly tasks

Key specifications

• Adjustable column height: 380–430 mm
• Intended mounting: bench and workshop use
• Compatibility: secures handheld drills for guided vertical drilling
• Mounting method: fixed base for stable attachment to work surface
• Function: guided linear movement for repeatable, perpendicular drilling

How to use

Attach the stand securely to a flat work surface using the base mounting provisions. Insert the handheld drill into the clamping mechanism and tighten according to the drill stand’s fastenings to ensure a firm hold. Adjust the column to the required height within the 380–430 mm range and position the workpiece under the drill bit. Use the guide to lower the drill in a controlled motion and perform the drilling operation, maintaining steady feed pressure and allowing the bit to cut at its designed speed.

Usage recommendations

For safer and more accurate results, use drill bits appropriate for the material being worked, secure the workpiece with clamps, and wear suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses. Verify the drill is compatible with the stand’s clamping mechanism and ensure all fastenings are tightened before operation. Periodically check the mounting and guide for wear and tighten or service components as needed to maintain alignment.
