Shop Bosch Bench Drill PBD 40 (710 W, Maximum Drilling Diameter In Steel/Wood: 13 mm/40 mm, Drilling Stroke 90 mm, In Cardboard Box). Review: WOW! - This thing is incredible! Features I love: - SLOW START! It starts slowly and then brings up the speed. In my opinion this is absolutely amazing for some safety aspects of a powerful tool like this. I would have spent the extra money on this tool for this feature alone! - 750w power. I'm sure I'd be fine with less but this is nice to have. - Not very loud, actually really comfortably quiet at lower speeds. I love this about many quality tools from Bosch and Makita, especially 18v tools. See below for my noise measurements. - Perfect speed adjustments! So easy to dial in exactly what you need from 200 to 2500 rpm. I also love that the speed is actually measured by the tool rather than just showing a number based on the position of the adjustment knob. So for example if you're drilling a tough material you will see the speed decrease on the LCD screen. - Physical depth stop and digital depth gauge on the screen. - The laser and LED light are very nice. Although the laser shines brightly off the metal surface at the bottom which I don't love. - Really versatile built-in clamp, which is removable. There's also a separate Bosch vice for £50 or so which to me seems a bit overpriced so I doubt I would get that from Bosch. - As far as I know this can drill much deeper than most others. - Usable for so many things, and I've also seen many tricks on youtube for using this in ways it wasn't intended, although i guess some of them may be unsafe to do. - Good weight for keeping it stable, but still can be moved without a problem. Quality: Looks and feels like superb build quality. I really don't understand why this is a "green" tool, which is what Bosch consider a "DIY" tool rather than a "blue" tool which is their professional line. Noise: (to me this is important) I measured noise from approx 1ft away (dB meter next to my head). I got these results: 78dB at 2500rpm. - Same amount of noise as my Bosch 18V-Li cordless drill at its maximum 1700rpm speed. (The UK government's health and safety website says your employer should give you hearing protection from 80dB, so I'd say best to wear ear protection for using this at high speed, especially for longer durations and when drilling metals.) 68dB at 1050rpm. - Reasonably quiet and comfortable, even for my sensitive ears. This is much less noise than 78dB. 56dB at 200rpm. - Roughly the same as my lovely Bosch GS-50 "silent" vacuum cleaner which I measured at 55db. Quiet enough to have a conversation or listen to music (obviously not recommended for safety reasons, you should be paying attention to your tool and material), and likely won't disturb other people. Chuck wobble: I cannot see or feel any chuck wobble at all. I have no proper device to measure but if I can't feel it then it's absolutely fine for me. Chuck play: The chuck does have a bit of play, meaning it can move very slightly sideways if I push it. it's about 0.33mm (one third of a millimeter) from pushing left to pushing right, measured at the end of an 8cm long bit. This is an extremely tiny movement so doesn't bother me. If measured from no-pressure to pushing in one direction then it's about half that much, about one sixth of a millimeter. Other than this tiny movement the entire tool feels extremely solid and accurate. Price: Not cheap but in my opinion it was absolutely worth the investment. It's a little cheaper from other shops but I love the desertcart customer service and easy returns (for example if there's an issue) so I was happy to pay about £15 extra (£245 instead of £230). Note: This newer version doesn't have the clear guard over the chuck as I've seen in some photos and videos online. Doesn't seem to be a problem at all. Conslusion: For me it was absolutely worth it, I'm LOVING this tool! - But to be fair you can also make holes with a £50 drill press, especially if you don't care about fancy features. If you're on the fence about buying this I would say, if it's not going to break the bank, go for it, I think you will love it. Remember to register with Bosch within 30 days of purchase for the extended warranty! See their website for details. Review: Superb quality drill press. - This is a superb all-round pillar drill from Bosch. Out of the box it is easy to set up. The ability to adjust the height of the drill and manual depth-stop is great. There is also a digital depth gauge which is easy to use and excellent for repeatable holes. The whole unit is well constructed and well thought-though. The only thing that some may not like is the wheel used to move the drill up/down. However, I have quickly got used to this and now rather like it. The machine is pretty quiet in use. The chuck allows a wide range of drill bits/forstner bits etc to be accommodated. The work clamp is excellent - quick and easy to use and very effective. It has a very wide range of speeds - all easily adjusted via the control knob. All in all, I am exceptionally pleased with this - highly recommended. ## Features - Digital system to read drilling speeds and depths easily - Quick clamp holds even round materials for drilling accuracy - Keyless precision chuck automatically retightens the drill bit - 2-speed gearbox: high power in first gear and high speed in second gear - Scope of supply: Parallel guide (1 600 A00 0UA);Quick-action clamp (1 600 A00 0TT);Carton ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00766C1A8 | | Best Sellers Rank | 29,986 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 6 in Benchtop Drill Presses | | Brand | Bosch | | Colour | Green | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (864) | | Drill Type | Drill Press | | Drilling Capacity Metal | 13 Millimetres | | Drilling Capacity Wood | 40 Millimetres | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03165140569163 | | Included Components | 1 X Bench Drilling Machine Pbd40,1 X Parellel Stop,1 Quick Release Clamp | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 74.2L x 37.2W x 27.5H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Bosch Bench Drill PBD 40 (parallel guide, quick-lock clamps, 710 W, in Carton Packaging) | | Item Weight | 11.15 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Material | Metal Plastic | | Maximum Chuck Size | 13 Millimeters | | Maximum Power | 710 Watts | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 2500 RPM | | Maximum Torque | 650 Newton Meters | | Model Number | 0603B07070 | | Number of Speeds | 2 | | Part Number | 0603B07070 | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Special Features | Variable Speed | | Speed | 2500 RPM | | Torque | 650 Newton Meters | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 220 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Maximum chuck size:** 13 Millimeters - **Maximum rotational speed:** 2500 RPM - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Voltage:** 220 Volts ## Images ![Bench Drill PBD 40 (710 W, Maximum Drilling Diameter In Steel/Wood: 13 mm/40 mm, Drilling Stroke 90 mm, In Cardboard Box) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QkNZ4SbDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would it be possible to replace the 13mm Bosch chuck with a standard 16mm twist-lock one? The Bosch one seems fiddly and could be too small.** A: I replaced it with a Röhm Supra-S (Model No. 871050). The answer that states there is no provision for changing the chuck is incorrect. The supplied chuck (Röhm Supra-SK E) isn't specified for a pillar drill, while the Supra-S is. I also changed the bearing out for an NSK 6002DDUCM (n.b. this isn't an entirely simple undertaking, so approach at your own risk). The drill is a lot more accurate now with those two upgrades. **Q: Why does it mention battery state when it is mains powered ?** A: Because Amazon thought they would intrigue you by adding totally irrelevant information about the Bosch PSB 10.8 LI-2 Cordless Hammer Drill. Perhaps in readiness for the first of April? **Q: I need to store this drill in a cabinet. What would be the minimum size box it would fit in fully assembled? Given dim. are shipping dim. Thanks!** A: Hello - sorry for the delay - I've just measured it and the footprint is 33cm wide and 35cm deep. The top of the pillar is 66.5cm. In practise you would want your cabinet to slightly exceed these dimensions. **Q: Can you use drum sanding attachments with this?** A: I don't know. I wouldn't try it. The drill press is too small and not made for that much work. Get a cheap $200 one from Harbor Freight with a belt, not a gear box like this one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! *by M***O on 2 November 2016* This thing is incredible!

Very easy to use with twist control on front, flexible for different materials. Decent torque but fades off a lower RPM if you press on too aggressively, but I need to be more patient.. high recommended. only niggle laser gets blocked by many of my bits so not as useful as I'd hoped... built in light is helpful though... ## Frequently Bought Together - Bosch Bench Drill PBD 40 (710 W, Maximum Drilling Diameter In Steel/Wood: 13 mm/40 mm, Drilling Stroke 90 mm, In Cardboard Box) - Bosch Professional 2608030055" MS80 Machine Vice, Black/Silver, 95 x 80 x 80 mm - Ottertools - Turnstile Compatible with Bosch PBD-40 Bench Drill (Round Handle Shape) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/48322529-bench-drill-pbd-40-710-w-maximum-drilling-diameter-in](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/48322529-bench-drill-pbd-40-710-w-maximum-drilling-diameter-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
