This customer install demonstrates the MAKESafe Power Tool Brake fitted to a Wilton 15″ Variable Speed Drill Press. The compact 3-button control panel was mounted in a accessible, operator-friendly position. The installation adds three critical safety features to the drill press: motor braking, emergency stop, and unintentional restart prevention. This customer phased their rollout by adding one brake per month until every machine in the shop was protected – a practical approach for facilities looking to improve safety compliance without a large upfront investment.
