How to Choose Your Air Drill

Questions to ask:

  • What size of chuck do you need to use? You have 2 options: 3/8” (10 mm) or 1/2” (13 mm)
  • Do you need a medium or heavy duty drill? The name of the drill indicates what you get.
  • Do you need a high speed (1800 – 2100 RPM) or a low speed (500 – 800 RPM) drill?
  • Do you need a one-way or reversible drilling action?

The use of a drill versus an angle grinder: It’s not advisable to perform any sideways actions with a drill. Drills are not built like angle grinders to take sideways pressure. The force exercised in using a drill runs directly down the drill bit into the drill itself. An angle grinder has bearings to take pressure at an angle.

Key Purpose of Drills

The most obvious purpose of a drill is to drill holes. However skilled artisans can use drills for other purposes, e.g. enlarging exiting holes, or whatever use can be achieved with additional fittings, e.g. sanding and polishing. The angle of pressure should be seriously considered when using a drill for purposes other than drilling.
