What is the power difference approximately between a 700w motor and a
550w induction motor in a pillar drill ?

Mine is a 500w induction motor and have rarely found it lacking in torque.
Although I only ever use the lowest speed gearing anyway.

The previous one was IIRC 350w and prone to stall when using things like a
hole saw.

Of course as with everything, you can never have excess power. ;-)
