The DS150 is equipped with guide rollers which ensure smooth movement of the motor carriage and with it, cleaner and straighter holes. The column is made from aluminium to reduce weight without compromising the quality or performance of the drill stand and has a clear, highly visible graduated scale on either side of it which allows the operator to easily identify the drilling depth, as well as a similar scale on the back of the column which indicates the working angle of the stand too.

The spring loaded winding handle/crack can be mounted on either side of the column, permitting left or right hand operation. The same handle can simply be removed to act as a convenient tool kit for the stand, for adjusting levelling bolts on the base plate or tilting the angle of the stand. It really is ingenious in design and simplistic to use. The stand also features a clearly visible spirit bubble which makes levelling of the base plate easier to identify and a parking brake which can safely lock the carriage into a fixed position when be carried or transported.

The combination base plate can either be anchored bolted into its desired working position, or surface depending, held by vacuum using a suitable vacuum pump like the Husqvarna VP200. The DS150 is supplied as standard with a vacuum seal kit. Alternatively, a screw jack located on the top of the stand can also be used to fix and hold the stand into position when suitably and securely propped.

A conveniently positioned soft grip handle and carriage parking brake aids stand portability.
