Right Angle Drill

In Woodworking and Metalworking. A powered drill that has the chuck pointing at right angles to the shaft of the motor. Usually in larger sizes and useful because it can work in a smaller place than a standard drill.

Right Angle Attachment

An accessory for a standard drill that makes the drill easier to work in confined spaces.

"D" Handle Drill.

A larger size electric drill that has the handle enclosed.

Low Speed Drills.

The drill in the photo is a 12mm Makita DA6300. It is a two speed reversible drill and the speeds are 300rpm and 1200rpm. It comes with an extra long side handle. It is a purpose made heavy duty 12mm drill ("Triple reduction gearing for maximum power"). The arrangement of the handles gives the operator extremely good control and a two handed grip that can resist the twisting forces if the drill bit grabs or sticks in the work.

A "D" handle drill, this time with an attachment to rotate the angle of attack by 90 degrees. This drill already had four speeds but when fitting the accessory there are two ways it can be fitted, with lower or higher gearing. All drills of this size are reversible.

Low speed drills like these have the torque to spin a large mixer for quicker mixing, but at the same time they reduce air entrainment.
