I have never enjoyed a sponsored video more. It is so genuine and educational.

[@AutoExpertJC]

Thank you, David.

[@rossmarzano]

I bought a vevor mag drill the last time you were hawking them on here. Variable speed, reverse, great product. Your video last time said that it included an array of annular cutters but I only got 3. They changed the ad after i ordered mine. Still worth it though. I suggest double checking the ad for the cutters. I used mine yesterday. Its bloody good value.

[@MattBlack6]

I just finished watching Mr Project Farm and step bits. Now here I am. My whole afternoon on KZbin has been and will be absolutely riveting.

[@AutoExpertJC]

The opposite of riveting, when you think about it...

[@MattBlack6]

​@@AutoExpertJCyes well. By the way, the Renegade drills are $59.90. Bargain.

[@robg6485]

That's impressive!

[@brittenmusic6923]

As one who is interested in drilling holes time and time again and keeping my tool sharp, lubricated and well polished, great knowledge to be found here.

[@Equiluxe1]

Back in the early 1980's I was working on a job that involved fixing a lighting gantry onto a Victorian building (The Corn Exchange in Cambridge UK) the beams were wrought iron and it was taking two Rotabroch cutters to make one hole, the first one got blunted on the outside layer of the beam then the next one was blunted on the other side on breakthrough. We had a bucket of these 25mm cutters and a whole bunch of them was going off for sharpening every day. I have a load of photographs I took while up in the rafters of that building as it is not often one gets such a chance to get up close too such buildings.

[@melgross]

An advantage to annular cutter efficiency is not only not cutting the center metal out, but that as the cut diameter gets smaller, the cutting speed needs to be increased as the small lips are over pressured from the slow rotation. Since there is no center, all of that is eliminated. Normally, with twist drills and bigger holes (1/2”, 12 mm) I drill the center out first, to eliminate that grinding in the center. I don’t have a mag drill, but I use them (mostly carbide as I do a lot of stainless) on my mill. I keep thinking about getting one of these. I’d like to see them put a variable speed dial on this as they have on some of their other models. You’re definitely right about the coolant. The more the better. Particularly with stainless and chrome steel, or something like 1045. Slower speeds really are better for those as well. But most home shops won’t likely be using those, though I do.

[@seaeagles6025]

This Vevor Magnetic drill is a great drill and looks very modern. Thanks John.

[@craigoOZ]

I would to see some of your projects finished.

[@amateurmakingmistakes]

Thanks, John! I've watched your earlier vids on Vevor mag drills ... like you said, the price of the annular drill bits already makes this a no-brainer, this time I bit the bullet.

[@richardwalsh5570]

Well reviewed John. I would love to get one but my workshop just lacks the space, even for storage on a shelf.

Heat is also enemy of tight tolerances. You have to keep your work at constant temp in order to have repeatable results in batch jobs.

[@John-he9dj]

Hi John , this machine is really a broach ,the little blue plug on the side is for the coolant to enter the inside of the Broach cooling it completely as it flows through , not like spraying coolant on the outside , used many over the years as a boilermaker, from old JC Boilermaker. 6:12 6:15

[@AutoExpertJC]

Hey John, yes, I appreciate how the coolant system is supposed to work. As I said, I just prefer doing it by spray bottle. (I might change my tune if drilling 30mm plate regularly - but none of the chips were coming off blue - so the HSS was under 220C while in operation. And I was flooding it - I wasn't spraying outside generally; I was lifting and flooding.)

[@alland2888]

The best mag drill I've used would have to be the millwaukee cordless mag drill. The magnet is mechanical, so no worries about power failure, and it lets go. You should do a demo of millwaukee 18v mag drill, John. You will be impressed.

[@regsparkes6507]

If I were in John's place, I'd want Milwaukee to have a chat about paying me for all the time and effort on my part to video and present their product(s).

[@hyster16t]

Currently in the dilemma of deciding on whether to go drill press or mag drill. Think you've cleared it up for me. Cheers.

[@JohnMcClain-p9t]

If you drill/cut a lot of holes I'd suggest you'll end up wanting both, at least that's where I'm at with a couple 100-year-old drill presses. sitting in their own corners of my shop.

[@JohnMcClain-p9t]

I can only hope this magdrill shows up in my local "Harbor Freight" store so I can enjoy it's performance. I've got two drill presses in my shop, one will take up to 3/8ths drills, the other will drill up to one inch center cutting bits with that 135 degree split points. I've got annular cutters for my Bridgeport which takes R-8 collets and would enjoy using a Mag drill rather than having to clamp down the work when it's rather large compared to my 9 by 42 inch "table" and have the air driven "water soluble oil" spray coolant system. Extra annular cutters is a bonus, reducing the resharpening of said cutters. A good diamond hone keeps them sharp easily enough.

[@Discoworx]

Mag base drills are brilliant. Pretty hard to go passed Vevor value. Unfortunately don't need one for my own use.

[@JamesKuffner-cg2pv]

It looks like it can only drill close to the edge due to the main body being there. Great show, good looking product and value, so am actually hoping that I'm stupid and have missed something. Cheers 🍻

[@dfross87]

@@oldbloke204 Maybe John ​can ask his mates at Vevor why they don't sell drill bit sharpeners in Australia like they do OS. Another YT channel (Watch Wes Work) did a review on one Vevor sell in the US (an equivalent 240V model is available), and was dumbfounded by how good it was.

[@chrisose]

I have an Evolution mag drill and it also has the dual dovetail configuration but its way lock screw is toolless.

[@AutoExpertJC]

That's a great idea. Toolless FTW! (Probably more expensive, though.)

[@chrisose]

@@AutoExpertJC At production scale I can't imagine a levered screw like the one on the Evo is more than a dollar. I've also had my mag drill for just over 10 years at this point.

Why not have the height adjustment on the other side with a wing nut so you don't need a tools to adjust it??

Nothing.

[@garysheppard4028]

Deja Vu. I opted for the variable speed model which was a bit more expensive but also has reverse (not that I've used it but nice in case I ever do). Sadly they don't make a variable kit like this with so many bits included.

The cutters make the value proposition outstanding.

Sorry JC, but ever since you added that baldy headed image to your uploads, well I’ve been avoiding your channel because you bear something of a similarity, in that image, to that Russian bloke who was the leader of the prisoner ranks. Not that I have anything against the Russians, in fact it’s quite the opposite, for if I were 20 years younger I would have happily volunteered to assist them but I just can’t stand the likeness of that blokes head on your uploads.
