Drill Stand YATO YT-82971 – 43 mm chuck, 400 mm column

YATO YT-82971 is a drill stand designed to convert compatible handheld drills into a stable vertical drilling station. The stand accommodates drills with chucks up to 43 mm and features a 400 mm vertical column that ensures consistent alignment and repeatable depth control. Intended for workshop and hobby use, the device provides hands-free operation to improve accuracy and safety when performing woodworking, metalworking, maintenance and general repair tasks.

Advantages

The drill stand offers increased drilling precision by holding the drill in a fixed vertical position on a 400 mm column, reducing operator movement and improving hole repeatability. Its universal mounting accepts drills with chucks up to 43 mm, enabling use with a wide range of handheld models. The rigid construction and secure clamping improve user safety during higher-force operations and when working with small or thin workpieces. The design facilitates consistent depth control and straightforward adjustment of drilling position.

Suitable for

• Vertical drilling in wood, metal and plastic
• Repetitive hole drilling and positioning tasks
• Hobby and model-making projects requiring accuracy
• Small workshop and maintenance repairs
• Operations where controlled drilling depth and alignment are needed

Key specifications

• Maximum compatible chuck diameter: 43 mm
• Column height: 400 mm
• Universal handheld drill mounting system
• Adjustable drill carriage for depth control
• Rigid metal construction for stability

How to use

Secure the drill stand on a flat, stable surface or bench using appropriate clamps or fastenings. Insert the handheld drill into the mounting bracket and tighten the clamp so the drill is held firmly without obstructing the trigger and controls. Adjust the carriage position along the 400 mm column to set the desired drilling height and use the depth stop or carriage adjustment to define drilling depth. Align the workpiece beneath the drill, turn on the drill, and lower the carriage smoothly to perform the cut. After drilling, raise the carriage and switch off the drill before removing the workpiece or making adjustments.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses and hearing protection) and ensure the drill bit is suitable for the material. Verify secure clamping of both the drill and workpiece before each operation, and avoid lateral forces on the column to maintain accuracy and prolong service life.
