I'm an engineer. Some points, guys (great vid, btw): 1. A water-based cutting fluid will substantially increase cutter life. (Water-based is best for tool temperature control. Lubrication is less important. HSS is prone to dulling after overheating.) 2. The centre pin designed to be used with the cutter locates it and also controls the flow of cutting fluid. 3. You can get a morse taper to weldon shank adapter to use an annular cutter on a conventional drill press, milling machine or lathe tailstock. 4. If you're overhead or inverted in the field, always strap the drill to the beam, in case the power fails or someone trips over the cord. 5. Magnetic attraction is also related to the thickness of the material being drilled. Mag drills generate maximum attraction on thick steel. Thin metal - not so much. (It's not really the strength of the magnet or the quality of the steel - it's the thickness. Just clamp the drill to the table and drill the hole in the job from there - even if you have to shim it with some thick plate to overcome the throat clearance.

[@LiftArcStudios]

All great points! I'm going to pin this comment for anyone else who may consider using a tool like this in the future! Thank you! - Walker (love your channel btw)

[@brhino]

Love your website too John 👍 a fellow Aussie grump ! 😉 You are usually spot on.

[@antonvillalta9205]

Vault tech here, I literally came to say point 5. We tend to you vac rigs now a days because of the nature of composite vault doors. They also make a permanent switchable magnet version that you can attach a normal drill motor setup. StrongArm Cordless Magnetic Drill Press. Maglogix MagnaDrill which is the OEM for that. Not exactly the same but less likely to accidentally hit the release mechanism.

[@melgross]

Yeah, sure, the translation is funny, but you’d be surprised at how easy it is to get injured by these drills if you don’t obey the rules. There are lots of inexpensive mag drills out there. Many start at $500, not $2,300. That’s a fairly expensive model. All the coolant feeds are similar to this one is, even on the most expensive models. Generally there is a way to mount it so that it’s vertical at different drill angles. If you don’t lubricate the cut with coolant, you WILL damage the cutter, no matter who made it. I damaged a couple of Hougen cutters when the coolant ran out and I didn’t realize it. Carbide is better, but expensive. You HAVE to use the pins! Seriously, read the damn instructions. That piece of metal is really too thin to hold a mag drill properly. The “liner” is called a gib. It will flex because it’s thin and not held in place except by the inner and outer dovetail. That’s normal.

[@deepwinter77]

In my experience there's a huge difference in using cutting oil Vs dry in the way it cuts and tool life. I have found extremely good tool life with oil, it's a reasonable quality cutting oil. A lot of this I suspect is because, the Hss tool has plenty of time to cool between the time it takes to move to a second hole the oil decreasing the friction and the cooling provided by the oil.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

You can adjust the gibs by loosening the nuts on the Allen screws on the side and tightening the screws until it has no slop but still operates smoothly. Even the expensive ones need some adjustment every once in a while. For lubricant I always use a water soluble oil cutting oil in a squirt bottle and keep it wet to cool it to decrease wear. There is also the option to get the cutters sharpened again and that's pretty economic in the long run. To combat the magnet issues try and magnetize the drill on an bit of an angle instead of linear with the tube, that helps it find a surface that is as flat as possible.

[@r.b.l.5841]

I took a look at the other Mag-drills in the Vevor line up, I have been wanting a new Mag for ages ever since getting my namebrand one stollen off a site. I don't use one enough to pay the big bucks again. The other models in the Vevor line have longer track (8 inch) so you can drill all the way through a 2x2 sq tube for pins. Also they have bigger motor - ie 1400 watts instead of 1100, and still have variable speed. Accessories available (sep prices) Jacobs chuck, set of 11 mag-drill bits. Looks good, I ordered it. Thanks Guys! I doubt I would have taken a chance on the Vevor without your vid.

[@andyjame7108]

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzbin.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

[@Scheistermeister]

Did you check the "fuse" on it? I saw a few youtube videos where people were testing the CUT50 plasma cutter from them and when they removed the fuse, it had a piece of copped soldered to the outside making it not a fuse lol

[@zenabu80]

I was looking at different mag drills, I might have to buy one of those just for the instruction booklet.

[@deepwinter77]

The lubrication actually makes a big difference in my experience, particularly with annular cutters I used a thicker cutting oil I got in the welding supplies and I found that works better then the thin water based stuff. It's $300 including cutters that's pretty damn amazing that's probably $100 in cutters alone. And Yes you're being too critical imo Vevor a great option especially for work I do occasionally but regularly, Not enough to spend thousands on a tool but enough to spend hundreds.

[@louismartel8232]

if you drill a lot in more than a half inche thick ....you should plug the cutting oil....but i use it for drilling in quarter inch mostly and i never plug this....hen i was working in structural stuff ....in base plate and gusset...oil is the way...

[@rexhavoc2982]

Automotive oil lubercates and prevents cutting, Cutting oil is designed to help cut. Always use a safety chain when side or overhead drilling.Oil and tighten the gibs on the dove tail slide.

[@stephencrouch7876]

If you don't want the plug to shoot inside the box start drilling then before you're all the way through take the pin out.

[@wbforsure2104]

In vertical or upside down tie that thing off to something so if someone trips over the cord and unplugged it accidently or you hit the wrong switch it won't fall to it's death or yours.

[@MichaelRoachWV]

24:50 - Love the "ah hah!" moment haha, and that's the beauty of an annular cutter! I used an adapter like John Cadogan mentioned for my drill press. My biggest tip is to use a vice as low to the table as possible, and to tighten the table down to reduce flex / chatter.

[@motorised1]

the geared industrial one at work can only do 32mm drill bits

[@mariopetrillo9372]

A magnet might help with the plugs.... Thanks for the vid guys.

[@mrdddeeezzzweldor5039]

On your expertest recomend, I purchase one magnet attraction drill with saving code. Operation show tool capable to hole and nice.

[@2112user]

Always called those bits "slug cutters", and 16 min in... you forgot the centering pin. Drilled many a hole in truck frames with mag drills and 3/4-1" bit. One word of advice, other have said..... Use a chain and not that rope. You think that mag holds, wait till you lock that drill up toward the end of a deep hole..... It'll spin it (if it's as strong as the name brands we got at work.

[@2112user]

Far as cutting oil... Tap magic is all we use at work. Boss says it's expensive, but.... works well and bits last hundreds of hole through Freightliner frames.

[@campkohler9131]

Any stiffness of the PVC cable is primarily due to a lack of plasticizer, which will naturally occur as it ages over many years. It can be accelerated by contamination of lubricants and other chemicals, so keep it clean. Of course replacing it with a neoprene cord is a permanent fix. Use of an electromagnet means that any momentary fluctuation in the power could cause the drill to go flying, so, as the manual might say, "The operator brain must keep uppermost the happening and dangetous drill flight path for quitting of power while in use." Some cheap insurance might be a rachet strap that could back up the magnet while in use, especially if the operator is in the path. Further, the entire supply cord, including extensions, must be guarded from accidental disconnection, especially if any part of it is out of sight of the operator. Scary!!! To prevent accidental magnetic switch deactivation, cut off a half inch length of PVC pipe of suitable diameter and glue it to the control panel around the switch. To kill the magnet, one would have to deliberately reach a finger into the pipe to reach the switch. (That such an inexpensive guard was not included in the design is [insert bad word here]). What do drills that use permanent magnets cost? Or how about just a magnetic mount to adapt an ordinary hand drill, especially a cordless drill? As it stands, you will have to be able to repair the drill motor should it fail. Yeah, a magnetic adapter is starting to sound good. Unless the extruded rack is flimsy to start with, it shouldn't wear if kept clean and lubricated. After all, it probably won't receive the same wear that a machine would in some kind of continuous use like manufacturing. It might be beneficial to make an easily-removable ways cover from thin rubber (inner tube?) to keep out dirt and shavings.

[@MrClickbang357]

DUDE!!!!! You need to make (or have made for you) a bit the is the dia of the centering tool with 3/4" connection to the tool! Therefore you can drill all the way through then drill each side to whatever dim you need!!!If this is a million dollar idea I WANT HALF!!!

[@stevensansone7502]

Turning off the magnet, instead of the motor. Isn't that what the rope is for? I mean, it's janky AF and could still really hurt someone. But still....

[@josephisaac3603]

There is a tolerance too everything

[@brenthencka764]

You could have just put the annular cutter in your vertical mill? I don't think I'll buy the mag drill. Asked them to send you an air driven tapping arm. I was checking those out.

[@javieraviles6314]

Very nice tool , for the price .!

[@toolman18ky]

When I do something like this I always put the mag on the table not the part. This would have eliminated the wobble problem.

[@frigginpos]

Chrome sucks, copper-brass-bronze is the answer to a great finish product. Other than that the video was awesome. I ordered the J1C-40 two weeks ago and it arrived today. I really like it, and the oiler is sub-par, but it will work. Once again, GREAT VIDEO!

Boo who. I don't want to get oil all over my shop. Well don't drill horizontally. I was really curious as to you seeing the oiling system work. Kudos to the round guy. Although I believe the Sasquatch has a control freak problem. New subscriber though. 🤣

[@curtiszeitelhack981]

Yep! You first, Tay! (as idiots are numbered) : ) No. Not really. I am excited to be getting one of your two-piece steel Christmas trees. Black Dog's website took my order on December 3rd, but cancelled when it turned out they did not really have any left. I enquired about this via their website and it was cool to find out you had made some more. Just hoping that order doesn't get cancelled too :D As for your new magnetic drill - Imagine the inflammable unclean workplace an accident this will lead to. Sufficient brightness need possible is not. You brightness not known for usually. Kidding, I am.

[@JW-jc5ti]

Aren't you supposed to tie a magnetic drill off in case the power drops it doesn't fall on somebody's head That's what the ropes for Save the 1st

"Nice hole..." (insert immature JrH laughter)

[@skwerlz]

I'm serious about my tools so I'd never buy this version, even at the price point. I bought the $3k one instead. These are amazing tools, worth every penny. It's insanely useful to be able to bring the drill press to your material. A good version of this is going to have a true electromagnet that twists into the "on" position and doesn't require electricity to work. I've also rigged up an accessory for my fab table so I can use this as a traditional drill press with the chuck adaptor. The problem Wyatt is having is that the magnet requires a minimum thickness of material to hang on to, the surface imperfections are irrelevant. You need to stick it to 1/4 or thicker for a secure hold.

[@bamboozler8459]

Annular cutters last much longer with lubrication.

[@Kami8705]

Very useful tool. Typically you use a chain(they included the rope instead) when it's on its side or upside down in case you lose power. You also can get a standard drill chuck that will fit in a mag drill chuck. It eats up alot of your vertical space, but it let's you use smaller buts, annular cutters only go down to about 10mm.

[@MegaGingahNinja]

You mentioned that the bit kind of wandered until it got started, there are centering pins that can be purchased for use with the annular bits. They seem to help a bit with the drilling we do. Also, like someone else said, the thicker the steel that the magnet is attached to, the stronger the holding power will be.

[@kellyjones334]

If you drill your big hole on the one side then. Leave your drill connected to your piece then change to your little bit and drill the small hole through your piece. If you don't move your drill your small hole will be centered in your big hole. Hope this helps you.

[@Bluuplanet]

You can send aluminum out and have it chrome plated. I did some work for a plastic window extruder and they could make vinyl extrusion dies quickly and cheaply if they used aluminum instead of tool steel. But the vinyl is very abrasive. They had the aluminum dies chrome plated and they lasted quite a while. Hey, you got a machine shop, make a steel way to replace that aluminum one!

[@mickking56]

if you put the ejector in with the roto broch cuter and centor puinch the work locat the spring loded ejector in the center punch hole this reduces skidding .

[@nonamegarage6721]

Why not just stick the Mag Drill to the table instead of the frame of the chair or ottoman....Great video,thanks

[@skydayang]

i bought a cheap mag drill from amazon to drill holes in a welding table i was fabricating for myself when i first started welding. i still use both to this day one year later and ive never used the lube jug for the annular cutters, i just spurt lube or coolant from a spray bottle onto the cutter

[@robertbutler8004]

For the life of me, I can't understand why you did not drill a small hole through both sides of the steel that would have given you the two positions for the two different drill bits.

[@907jl]

You'll love the annular cutters in your mill and lathe as well. They make Morse taper adapters to mount them in the tailstock, and R8 adapters for the Bridgeport. They're great for hogging out big holes. And the slugs from the center come in handy, so start saving them in a coffee can!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

When I was a kid my dad had a big coffee can full of slugs and I couldn't ever figure out what they were from, definitely not knock-outs from panels or anything, WAY too thick.. huh, I just realized where he got all them. Not sure why I never asked or he never told me. He was a machinist / boilermaker in a previous life (before he met my mom I think). Great point and yeah annular cutters are SO nice to have

[@Guds777]

The only problem is they tend to get extremely hot and are often case harden, so it's a bitch and a half to turn them down in the lathe...

[@907jl]

@@Guds777 Yep, the steel ones can be tough if not using cutting fluid, but the aluminum are good.

Mine is a Dewalt, before the Dewalt I had a Evolution S42. I was afraid to buy one of those Vevor because they look like disposable drills and now looking at that one at work, I do not regret my decision on going with the Dewalt which cost twice as much as the Vevor but can't compare in quality. The good quality mag drills, they completely cut off power if you disconnect the drill. You need to use that center pin it if you want precise holes. Also, the cutters come in 2 inch length.

[@closetbound8707]

We love you too Trey! And Wyatt of course...MORE WYATT!!!! Mag drills are the cat's ass too...

[@paulhunt598]

Years ago we purchased a clone of this tool. It had a branded Hitachi drill head. We had the classic Milwaukee mag drill as well. I scoffed at the import machine until I started using it. It was only a fraction of the size and weight of the Milwaukee, and for that reason, I seldom used the Milwaukee. The import drill became the favorite. We never invested in the annular cutters and used twist drills in a standard 3 jaw chuck. This is really tempting for hobby shop use. A set of included annular cutters justifies the already low purchase cost.

[@curtishatfield9629]

Great video as usual! When dealing with crowned metal, aluminum, stainless steel...etc, just clamp a piece of metal to the problem/non-carbon metal and then you can use your magdrill in places you need to. Cheers!

[@tech-test-break-fix]

I have the same unit and drilled my own welding table. A few hundred holes drilled and it is running great. Get some cooling fluid to keep the cutter wet and it cuts even better.

[@isabellecote1064]

stuff like that i would suggest cold rolled tubing, you save time and nominal dimension is way better, also, dont blame Canada for your poor knowledge.

[@micbanand]

install the center drill. or the spring loaded center tap. then you wont have the wobble.

[@1990notch]

I've got 2 of these. Why 2? Because somehow they were on sale for $59 each with free shipping from Vevor. I figure having a backup never hurts for that price. First time I ever bought anything from them. But they both have a bit of runout (wobble). One is worse than the other, maybe by .004 or so. Still works great for what it is.

[@westonhart1148]

Great video, I love watching you guys. Personally I would have been magneted the drill to the table to drill the holes that you had trouble with. That way you would not have to worry about the magnet not sucking down properly. Only reason I knew is I’ve done it 😂

[@sansdecorum4600]

I only recently happened upon your channel and liked the tone, humor, and qualify of content right off. Regarding mag drill application, I recommend checking out a channel from across the pond called "The Metalist". While the content is devoid of speech, I've seldom seen a guy so adept with doing more less; very clever, artistic, and both entertaining and informative. He uses his mag drill as a primary drill press and has built a nifty accessory stand to better utilize the tool. Honestly, he's worth a watch. Love the artistic humor of his wicked smoke sucking cobra as a welding fume extractor head, literal spare hold down finger and hand axe. Subscribed to YOUR channel and looking forward to more.

[@friedgizzard]

I was yelling at you the entire time you were using this thing, yall have a lot to learn about using a mag drill correctly. Please use the hell out of cutting oil!!

[@sonoman00ify]

I drill holes in overhead steel beams. Tens of thousands of them over 30 years. I use a keyed chuck adaptor with regular 3/8" bit from Lowes for $5.00. I never use a dtop of " cooling fluid." Bits last over a year.

[@m.rei85]

I've known Vevor only as a brand sold an ebay or amazon for quite some time. After your video, I stumbled over their own online shop. Reading through their german product descriptions is a great way to entertain myself for quite some time. Navigation isn't great, but their products seem at least comparable to other very affordable brands, in some cases possibly better. I might be tempted to try a few things in the future. Their range of products is wild.

[@Guds777]

You need to put in the spring loaded center pin that ejects the core out, the pin also is used to center the annular cutter. You use center punch to mark the spot and then the pin can pick up on the mark and center itself, sometimes if the hole is critical you can center punch it, drill it with say 4-5mm drill and then the annular cutter will cut true. Also use coolant or cutting oil even just spray on. Also when you start use carbide tipped annular cutters you usually don't go back to HSS. 30MM in a Hardox (what you muricans call AR plates) with carbide tipped annular cutter no problem...

[@jadesluv]

Easy to fix the problem with the magnet being turned off while drilling is in progress. Single jumper wire will do it. Depending on the terminals used by Vevor. Maybe use electrical tap splices. Anyway connect from drill switch output/speed control to output of magnet switch. So whenever drill motor is ON, the magnet is energized. Problem solved!.

[@bobbg9041]

MAG DRILL, first then you do with it and im serious. Drill a 1" dia hole 6" back from the tip in the center of both forks on your fork truck, then make 2 pins 2" long x 1" one end and 1 3/4" the other end on the lathe These pins drop into your oversized holes on the forktruck. Assuming you move bar stock with the fork truck you use a lifting strap and the pins keep the strap from pulling off the forks. On the forktruck next to the seat in a clear spot drill the same 2 holes to store the pins in so they are always with the fork truck. Ive lifted 20' bundles of bar stock close to the straps max weight All in the bundle, you can guide the stock if you life from the center. This also works with wood but you'll want 2 straps one for metal and a clean one for wood. With a c clamp you can also move sheet goods. Perfect job for a mag drill.

Good video. Have fun with the drill. One pointer I would like to give. Treat the camera as a person. Meaning look at it in its eyes aka the lens. Something i have learned working with a few network tv shows. Don't look at the screen, look at the lens of the camera. It will improve your videos.

[@watahyahknow]

vevor has an european suplystore too , been looking at the magdrill for a while tooone of the projects i would have for it is to drill holes in a weld table for mounting welding clamps nice thing about those anulair cutters is that you can get a mt watever to 3/4 weldon adapter for them if you have a drillpress or a mill with a taper and these drills take less power so if you have say a drillpress for 13mm you could drill bigger holes with it as for the seperate circuit for the magnet , i think you could put a always on type pushbutton on there (push button to release the magnet ) and to prevent the drill falling if you touch the butting while drilling is running the switch for the drill through the same magnet while the drill is running

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

10:15 or so, I think they must have done a DIRECT translation from Mandarin to English using Google Translate. Man that's funny, but safety first right?!

[@tomdegoede7565]

I always got a slap round the ears from an old machinist/toolmaker when I used WD40 as cutting oil. There seem to be little carbon particles in it that make your tool dull. So nowadays I only use dedicated cutting oil, and if it smokes it's good because heat looses energy in evaporating the oil.

[@MrClickbang357]

Even better find a hole drill that fits in the 27mm hol to locate the center for the 3/8 hole! Actually since you're going to be using this more often the first idea would be best. Best of luck and I still want my 1/2 million!!!

[@pbkid6667]

Man I love your videos but I must say; after years of structural fab this was a little painful to watch. There's a learning curve to the mag drill but once you get it you will use it a lot. If you ever do decide to upgrade that drill I recommend an Evolution, Hougen, or a Slugger.

[@donmunro144]

I have that same drill along with a set of Amazon cutters. I used it to replace axle brackets on a semi trailer. I was drilling through 4inch angle iron 3/8 inch thick. Worked flawlessly. For the guy that uses it occasionally,it's a great tool. I used 15w-40 to lube it. The lube system sucks so I just poured it on piece.

[@nikjames2965]

You are drilling too fast with no cutting fluid. Those independant circuits WILL break your wrist - this product is unnecessarily hazardous. In its present form it should not be used. If you release the magnet while it is still running in the hole, it will grab and try to twist your arm off. If it was mine I would throw it in the bin.

I got one of these(vevor) mad drills a few months back and it came to me damaged and it wasnt from delivery it was a manufacturer defect, the rack didnt want to slide down because the holes that were drilled in the gibs were drilled off center so the gib wouldnt sit right in the track so it wouldnt go down more than half way. Then an absolute nightmare dealing with the company.

LoL, metric 26mm isn't a nice round figure 🤣 your'e thinking maybe one inch, what's the next round figure up from one inch ?

If using the mag drill overhead etc you should also secure with a ratchet strap or rope in the event of power loss. That thing drops on someone's head if a breaker trips or the generator runs out of fuel, you are in the shit with the H&S crew.

Bought the 1500W version, the buttons are much better the cutters are carbide the chuck is quick change comes and includes a standard chuck

Yes, we know we used the cliché "KZbin Thumbnail Face" 😅 Don't worry, we'll try not to do it again... (unless for some reason this video does really well)

[@Trotaaa]

There is a certain time for the Thumbnail Face. This was one of those times!

[@chriskelly3678]

Ha! Didn't notice thumbnail. You had me at Magdrill 💚🌵☘

As a millrite nothing makes me happier than watching someone review something we use everyday that they know nothing about and talk All kinds sh#t about it. You should have drilled the larger holes and while the mag base was still in place switched to the smaller cutter and drilled them or not or talk some more sh#t

[@sebasfernandez517]

My friend. Of course it moves all over. Look where you magnetized your machine. Dios mío

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

wire the mag switch to the power switch. easy fix. That makes it so the mag has to be on to run the drill, if you hit the switch it shuts it completely off. if you have it way up high, it should be tethered i'd think.

Should have stopped watching when he called the tubing aquarium tubing. Then did not strap the thing down. So I guess I was waiting to see the thing bounce off there feet. Then they take the coolant tank off and then show a picture of one with the tank relocated how it should have been

You make nice happy hole with pokey drill. Keep feet and teeth at distance and birds fly with much flavor.
