The Hukums 13 mm (1/2 inch) Bench Drill Machine Without Motor is a versatile and durable drilling press frame designed for workshops, garages, small fabrication units, DIY stations and repair centres that require reliable drilling performance with complete motor flexibility. Built for precision, stability and ease of use, this bench-mounted machine gives you full control over motor selection, spindle speed, and drilling power. It is ideal for both occasional workshop users and daily industrial work environments where accuracy and consistency are essential.
This bench drill is engineered with a strong column, stable base plate, and a smooth spindle mechanism that helps maintain perfect alignment during drilling. With its 13 mm drilling capacity and adjustable 4-speed spindle system, it supports different materials and drilling requirements with ease. Whether you’re drilling mild steel, aluminium, wood or plastic, this machine ensures a smooth, safe and vibration-controlled operation.
The Hukums 13 mm Bench Drill Machine Without Motor is ideal for:
Small and medium workshops
Fabrication units and auto garages
Maintenance departments
DIY woodworkers and metalworkers
Service centres and engineering labs
Students learning mechanical or technical skills
Users who need a customisable drill press based on motor preference
It is especially suitable for who prefer choosing their own motor based on application, power needs and budget.
Since the machine is supplied without a motor, you can attach a motor of your choice—typically 0.5 HP to 1 HP depending on workload, drilling material and speed requirements. This flexibility helps reduce initial cost and gives complete control over the performance level. You can create a personalised setup that delivers optimal results for your workshop environment.
This also makes the machine easier to transport, maintain and upgrade. Over time, you can replace or upgrade the motor without needing to replace the entire drill press.
Suitable for a wide range of workshop tasks including metal drilling, woodworking, plastic drilling and light industrial applications.
Choose any compatible motor (0.5 HP–1 HP). Ideal for users who already have a motor or want a customised setup.
Speed range typically from 650 to 2400 rpm, allowing you to drill softwood, hardwood, mild steel or aluminium with proper speed control.
Strong metal construction with a rigid base ensures smooth and accurate drilling.
Takes very little workspace on a table, bench or workstation. Perfect for small workshops.
Made from high-quality engineering materials with a strong column and precision spindle for long service life.
Compared to motorised pillar drills, this model offers a lower upfront cost and the flexibility to upgrade your motor anytime.
The smooth spindle movement, adjustable table height and sturdy clamping area make it ideal for repetitive and precision drilling.
The body, base and column are manufactured using rigid metal alloys that provide strength and stability while resisting wear and tear even under regular workshop loads.
The multi-speed pulley system allows users to switch between speeds depending on drill bit type and material hardness. Lower speeds are ideal for metals whereas higher speeds suit wood, plastic and softer materials.
The machine supports deeper drilling operations and is suitable for tasks that require consistent depth control.
With a height of up to 650 mm from spindle to base, the drill can accommodate larger and thicker workpieces comfortably.
The sturdy bench-mountable base plate ensures stability while occupying minimal space—making it ideal for small workshops and tight work areas.
The table and base area allow easy clamping, better alignment and consistent drilling results.
The open-frame design supports easy attachment of a motor with standard mounting. The belt and pulley assembly allows smooth operation once the motor is installed.
