Bordborre

Bordborre is a term of Swedish origin that translates to "table drill" or "desk drill". It refers to a small, portable drilling device designed for use on work surfaces such as tables or desks. These tools are typically powered by electricity and are characterized by their compact size and maneuverability, making them suitable for light-duty drilling tasks.

The primary function of a bordborre is to create holes in various materials, commonly wood, plastic, or thin metal. Unlike larger drill presses that are fixed in place, a bordborre can be moved around the workpiece or the workpiece can be brought to the drill. This flexibility is advantageous for tasks requiring precise hole placement or for working on items that are difficult to transport.

Bordborre devices often feature adjustable speed settings and depth controls to accommodate different drilling needs. Some models may also come with a base or clamp to secure them to a table or desk, providing a stable platform for more accurate drilling. They are frequently used in hobbyist workshops, craft rooms, or for minor repairs and assembly tasks where a full-sized drill press would be impractical. The simplicity and portability of a bordborre make it a convenient tool for intricate work.
