The Challenge Handy-Drill Paper Drill has a standard 2-1/2" drilling capacity and comes with both a 1/4" and 5/16" Challenge drill bit. The spindle motor automatically turns on when the pull-down lever is moved and automatically switches off when the lever returns to the up position.
Conveniently located chip collector cups are located around the spindle and include a sight gauge to signify when the cups are full and need to be emptied. The cups also serve as safety covers with interlock switches. When removed to change the drill bit or to empty the paper chips, power to the motor is locked out until the cups are replaced.
The backgauge includes 4 adjustable stops for drilling multiple hole pattern jobs. Just flip the switch and move your pile to the next setting. Machine can be converted to or ordered as a 2" standard drill capacity to accommodate a wider range of 13 available hole sizes.
