You can move the power head on the ways, Alex. I have this exact model and you can definitely put a chuck in it and fit just about any standard length drill bit into it. You just have to adjust the head on the ways. My only complaint with mine is how loose the vertical travel on the head is. It does not stay up on its own like higher grade models do. I also run carbide cutters (copperheads) because they can take a bit more speed with it being a 800rpm single speed unit. I drilled over 110 holes in 1/2 plate for my fixture table and the cutter is still as sharp as before the 1st hole. Invest in better cutters and you'll be set!

There are 2 screws you can loosen on the grey part, one each side, to move up the drill on the rail. So when you use the chuck, you can actually get the drill up higher, without having to put it on some stuff...

I bought the variable speed version to drill the holes in my (your idea) welding table. Yea, it goes thru like cutting butter. Also, I bought a used HF floor model drill press, removed the motor/head and welded on a platform for this mag drill. It came out fantastic and this is my metal cutting drill press now. No more getting oil and metal shavings on my woodworking drill press. You should make one a part of the welding table series. I also made a small version for a portable drill press.

I'd invest in a safety lanyard if you're hanging it upside down or in it's side. If you pop a breaker and the magnet stops working...💥 It seems like a decent tool for the money. I checked your link and they also show one that looks like the exact same thing except it has a speed controller built into the switch panel and it's only $5 more.

Thanks for the review. I would like to get a mag drill, but I really haven't needed one. I like Hougen Rotacut bits. They work well in my drill press and are similar to annular cutters.

I got the one step up has tapping to And it gives you variable speed and reverse

@andrewdollinger8858 6 ай бұрын

I’ve been thinking about getting one of these. Are you happy with the tapping? Does it auto reverse or have a clutch associated with the tap?

I tried to see in this video if the handle is able to be switched from side to side, and I couldn’t tell. I ended up following the link to their site and judging by the pictures it would be a pain to remove the circlip each time. Often times do to tight spaces and awkward drilling I have to swap the handle from side to side or remove two of the three handles for clearance issues

Looks like a solid drill for the price.

Is that the Vevor MD 40?

@kricketscreations4887 6 ай бұрын

Actually you loosen up the one screw On the Track that it's on and slide it up on the rail when you're using the 3 jolt Chuck

Dude, that thing is loud! Hey, give the coolant reservoir a shot, mine doesn't seem to flow AT ALL... Can't figure it out.

@justinnoble2497 6 ай бұрын

If you have a vevor model like this there is a certain point near the very end of the flow adjustment where it works. It's not a super fine control but open it all the way up and give the bottle a little squeeze to get your fluid moving. Then adjust from there. Also helps if you thin out your cutting fluid. I use tap magic so it's already pretty thin but cutting it with some water helps.

I've tried that and mine won't even work. The Coolant does come out of the hose if screw is open all the way. But once the hose is pushed in the drill quick connect end. The flow stops for some reason. I suspect the push fitting on the drill end doesn't work or jammed

Hey guys, I’ve just purchased one and have a video of me using it. I did hear about the coolant not working and believe that I solved the issue. What I believe happens is that the coolant is fed into the inside of the drill press shaft. If you use the supplied annular bits, they come with a spring loaded centre. Unless that centre is compressed, it won’t let coolant through. When you use the drill chuck for normal drill bits, the coolant has no passage to pass through. The coolant tap does need to be opened almost all the way. Hope this helps!. It’s a great drill and even the annular bits from vevor last for ages… I drilled 187 holes at 16mm diameter without it going blunt.

@Hf0205 Ай бұрын

I tried removing and inserting the annula spring loaded pin. Coolant was not working. I also have the coolant resovior open all the way.@Fab-Life444

@@Hf0205 did you compress the pin ?. Also, another test would be to remove any attachment on the drill and see if the coolant runs through?
