Mountable Vertical Milling Drills

The Conceptual 'MODS' Drill Set Attaches Securely onto a Surface

The conceptual 'MODS' drill set is a vertical milling center (VMC) that can be mounted onto a surface to allow for precision drilling and cuts in a streamlined manner. Designed by Mario Kapsalis, the drilling unit features a suctioning system along with a lightweight frame that will hold itself in place to allow for reduced strain and less fatigue when performing tasks. The suction cups will adhere onto almost any surface, while a smart platform will automatically align the drill to keep it in the optimal position.

The conceptual 'MODS' drill set boasts a streamlined design that would come as a welcome addition to any professional or maker's gear roster. The unit is the winner of the 2019 Red Dot Design Concept Award.
