VACDRILL Press
The press format: a vacuum base with a column-mounted drive.
What it is
The VACDRILL Press applies the same principle in a press configuration — a powered vacuum base carrying a column and a driven head, so the drill advances under machine control rather than hand pressure.
Internally it is a distinct product line: GRABO pursued separate design and utility filings for it.
Intellectual property
The press form is covered by US design patent D968,485 S for a vacuum drill press, alongside design filings in China and the EU and a Chinese utility model application. See patents and IP.
Where it fits
Where the work benefits from a more press-like setup — controlled feed over a longer stroke, or mounting a heavier drive.
Configurations and availability vary by market; confirm with GRABO.
