The main body or frame of a drill machine that holds and operates the drilling components.
Compound word from 'drill' and 'stock' (from Old English 'stocc' meaning tree trunk or block). Term used in machinery and tool manufacturing.
The drillstock is basically the skeleton of a drill—its weight, stability, and precision engineering determine whether you can drill accurately to depths of thousands of meters or just make holes in your garage wall.
