FAQ
Can you use a Plunge Router as a Drill Press?
While a Plunge Router can handle some drilling tasks, it is not a substitute for a Drill Press. While it offers adjustable depth and can make holes, it lacks a drill press’s precision, stability, and control. A dedicated Drill Press is better for accurate and stable drilling, especially with larger bits or deeper holes.
