Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

[0002] Presently, various bench drills being available in the market all employ a tower-type belt pulley to regulate the rotating speed thereof. When requiring changing the speed, the drill has to be stopped to open the belt housing, then the belt is moved from one groove to another groove of the belt pulley so as to increase or decrease the speed. Such speed regulation has disadvantages that the operation is complicated and unsafe, and the efficiency is low. In addition, due to the limit of the groove of the tower pulley, only step speed change such as 5 speeds and 12 speeds can be achieved. In order to achieve the stepless speed change, the skilled person in the art have made great efforts to design the stepless speed change bench drill.
