The Sealey GDM200F/VS is a floor standing pillar drill with variable speed control, designed for precision drilling applications in workshops and educational facilities. This model delivers stepless speed adjustment between 150-2300rpm, allowing operators to fine-tune drilling speeds for optimal finish and tolerance control across different materials and bit sizes. The variable speed mechanism uses an innovative belt transmission system with two spring-tensioned cone pulleys. Speed adjustment is achieved by moving a centre idle pulley with a dedicated control lever, which alters the pulley diameters to provide smooth, continuous speed variation without the stepped changes of traditional multi-speed drills. This makes the drill particularly suitable for metalwork, plastics, and composite materials where precise speed control is essential. Safety features include a no-volt release switch and locking cover to prevent accidental starting, meeting the requirements for insurance company approval in educational establishments. The 16mm capacity chuck features a No. 2 Morse taper, with a spindle centre to column distance of 178mm and 80mm spindle travel. The drill is supplied with a chuck guard and can be fitted with an optional mortise attachment (Model No. MA10) for woodworking applications. With a substantial 71kg weight and 1630mm overall height, this floor-standing model provides the stability required for accurate drilling operations. The 450W motor (650W start) and robust construction make it ideal for professional workshops, training facilities, and light industrial applications.
