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!!

Years ago we had an old magnetic drill press in the welding shop at work and I must admit I loved the thing. Really handy. It was old and wasn't a big name brand but I never have found one like it to buy for myself. When I did start looking for one I also noticed they are all very expensive.

After owning a large version of one of these, I wish they had rings or tie points for rope or straps to be used when they are horizontal or upside down in case the magnet releases or just positioning. There is the handle opening, but it needs two tie points instead of one. The balance changes when you move the second dovetail. It is a lot like a regular drill press where you can move the head up and down.

[@graemefinlayson3248]

There's a slot behind the head, just above the base for passing a ratchet strap through. @ 2'52" into the video there's a shot of the side of the drill. Just above the yellow label is the slot to pass the ratchet strap through. A ratchet strap should always be used with vertical or overhead drilling to keep the machine in place in the event of a power failure.

[@chadcoombs4637]

Mr Pete, that style shank is from a company called Nitto Kohki, and is their "one touch adapter". Another company (and others, I'm sure) called Accusize, makes an adapter that is Nitto on the male and, and has a 3/4 Weldon female end to be able to use your other annular cutters. I bought mine from either ebay or Amazon for roughly $20 each shipped. I recently bought the same drill you unboxed, as well as the adapters. Hope this helps.

Great video Mr. Pete. That's really not a bad price as we've paid over $2.000 for the Milwaukee brand at work. They're used in the horizontal position a lot at work, drilling and tapping for mounting brackets and things that hang off stamping presses.

[@OldSneelock]

Back in 1976 while setting up the stamping room at the Borg Warner radiator mfg plant in Coldwater, MIchigan our boss, Jeff Wagner, bought us a Milwaukee Magnetic Drill Press to help with installing the air guards on the big stamping and drawing presses. It came with a chain for securing the drill in use. We were respectful of the 40 or so lbs that it weighed. We always secured the drill press just so if the power failed we didn't ride it to the ground. 😁😎 I never had the power fail, but it did come loose while I was up about 15 feet on a ladder. We didn't expect any problems as we had drilled and tapped 6 machines for guarding by that time. Little did we know but the Bliss 400 ton 4x8 platen mechanical press had a secret. In the casting for the right front post of the press there was a void. Not structurally damaging as it was less than an inch deep. Bliss filled the cavity with plastic body filler. I had set the base of the drill on the edge of the void so that the back end of the magnet was over the void and the front was on about 3 inches of the actual casting. Everything was fine until I started drilling. I no sooner started drilling when the drill dropped loose. Still running it dropped about 6 inches and was swinging on the chain. Fortunately, it didn't swing into me or the ladder. After that we used a magnetic pick-up tool to verify that there was metal under the shiny green paint.

[@anthonycash4609]

The Milwaukee is a 100 times better than the vevor. If you noticed in the first of the video he picked it up with one hand. You would not pick up a magnet Milwaukee with one hand. Also if you look up vevor in the better business bureau they have over 50 pages of complaints and a F rating which is the worst you can receive. The better business bureau stated they had contacted them and had no response. This is about the tenth channel where they are giving equipment away just to boost sales. And the bad thing is these guys is just playing right into there hands with all this free stuff.

I have an old Milwaukee magnetic drill and it's the best drill press in my shop. I can use much larger drills than with my other press, 1 1/4 is the biggest I've successfully used. I've also tapped holes with it, 7/8 being the largest. The variable speed and high torque are probably it's best features, in my opinion. It does have it's down sides though. It's not terribly convenient, it's heavy, and if those magnets slip and your tool gets bound up you better watch out. You'll get clobbered by a 70 lb chunk of metal. I'm hoping to make an adapter that lets me mount a mt2 boring head in the chuck. Should be fun.

Mr. Pete thanks for the video! FYI you can get an adapter to go from the "Nitto-Kohki One-Touch" quick disconnect cutters of this model to Weldon Shank cutters, so you can use BOTH on your mag drill! As far as I am concerned, "Nitto-Kohki One-Touch" is REALLY cool, instead of futzing with Allen screws and wrenches. Weldon Shank is old technology like the old Bag Phone. But with the adapter you can have both until the "Nitto-Kohki One-Touch" becomes the norm. Thanks for all you do!

[@popperkeg1234]

These cutters are just the best thing for large holes,I have never used them but sharpen them for a steel fabrication company using a homemade tool and cutter grinder,they are normally recommended to be sharpened on a specialised grinding machine,the company I sharpen for have always found them satisfactory and keep having me regrind them,if you look at the cutting face they have an unusual angle geometry which makes them cut so good,hope this might be of interest,thanks for a fantastic youtube channel,Harold

I picked up a Vevor mag drill just a few weeks ago. It's a notch down in features I think because I have a standard Weldon shank and I'm happy that's the way it came. Mine also has variable speed (mandatory in my opinion) and reverse as well. There are other budget mag drills out there but at the moment, it seems like Vevor is nailing it. I like mine much better than the Evolution we have at work (I can't stand using that one honestly and it's rickety by comparison). Maybe it's no but so far this thing is working awesome for me. Anyways, this is starting to sound like a shill comment. I just wanted to echo some positivity. Hopefully other brands will step up their game so we have even more choices. Thanks for the video.

[@1978garfield]

I picked up an old B&D mag drill recently. By the time I buy the parts it was missing and get it set up to drill I probably could have bought one of the Vevors. I had actually been looking at them. I wanted a model like yours with variable speed and reverse. Some models don't have that, in this day and age I can't understand why. It is just a matter of adding a switch and a potentiometer. I assume someone makes a quick release to Weldon adapter so you could use your other bits? I would like to see how they hold up in a mag drill. Glad to see you get some free gear. I have been interested in this unit and may still buy one in the future in spite of finding the vintage B&D. It is 100 pounds once you hook the drill and the magnet together. I have a bad back among other issues so I will not be sticking that to the frame of a truck to drill holes for a hitch for instance. I have a hard time moving it arround without injuring myself to be honest. You will give us the straight dope on this so I should be able to tell if it is worth buying. Headed to the follow up video now!

I just got my Vevor mag drill in today. I ordered the 1300 watt version with reverse for tapping, mine has the 3/4 Weldon and 1/2-20 thread adapter for the chuck. I haven't tried the chuck out but it felt cheap and I went digging around in my chuck assortment and came up with a new looking American made Jacobs 33B 1/2" capacity with 1/2-20 thread mount that I will put on it. My mag drill only came with two 40mm annular cutters so I will have to order a set for it. I tried it out on a piece of 5/16" A36 plate and it seem to do just fine as long as you give it a chance to cut without putting to much force and trying to push the cutter through like Bubba likes to do.

[@mrpete222]

[@ellieprice363]

Thanks for another interesting review. Maybe the magnet smells like fried bread when it gets hot? The cutters with the quick release feature are the best part of this drill drill so don’t throw them away. A small tapping head might work if there’s room.

[@robert574]

Good video and a pretty nice magnetic drill. It's a good size too. I did some quick calculations from the nameplate: by the wattage (1400W) and a 0.6 factor for the motor at 810 rpm it figures to be about 1-1/8 hp and a torque of 87.6 in-lbs of torque at 810 rpm. If a 1" (25.4mm) dia, 8 tooth cutter, 3/16" thick tooth was installed it could generate a circular cutting force of about 27lbs per tooth (more if the cutter dia is smaller).

That is a very sound prediction

[@alanremington8500]

I like it !!

[@ld2876]

If I understand you correctly, the cutters use one touch side lock shanks, making them somewhat proprietary compared to the industry-standard Weldon shanks. Secondly, only a limited number of Metric sizes are available ( no fractional sizes). Lastly, Vevor sellls annular cutter sets which do not even fit in this magnetic drill press. It seems to me that without the ability to utilize standard cutters, and a limited selection of metric sizes, this device is of limited use.

[@dablakh0l193]

Maybe you can modify the rear inside face of the chuck, and the screw-in spindle. If you put a countersunk hole that fits a 1/4" flat head screw, and a matching 1/4-20 or 28 tapped hole in the screw-in spindle, then when you put the two together, you can add the flat head screw, and thereby lock the spindle into the chuck. Then if you want to separate the two again, it's just the simple act of removing the internal screw.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@briantaylor9266]

My guess is that you will find there will be low torque at low rpm.

[@mrpete222]

Your guess is absolutely correct

[@TyroneDamShewlaces]

@@mrpete222 I found with my Vevor that the low speed torque does bog down a drill, but the electronic speed control increases the torque and speed eventually. The speed control is very laggy, so that could benefit from a design upgrade. But if you spend some time with the drill you'll learn to compensate for the lag and just keep pokin' holes.

You mentioned not having an attached vise. A lash up we made for the drill at Borg Warner was a 1/2" thick plate with a drill press vise bolted to it.

I've been looking at Vevor Mag Drills online and would most likely purchase a 220v version as I retired to the Philippines if I could get a good price. It seems sellers here mark up the prices here quite a bit compared to the U.S. which is problematic for me. It's not uncommon for a $200. unit in the U.S. to cost double or more... here. This makes it impossible for the average Filipino to afford tools like this as the average daily wage is around $10.... yes Ten U.S. dollars. I'll have to check to see if Vevor will sell me one directly so we can cut-out the middle men...

Dear Lyle, you can take a steel plate, attach mag drills to it, then use the area hanging from under the drill to use as a drill press table to put your vice on...or just clamp the part to the plate..... I had a lot. of 3x3x3/8 angle 4 inches long that needed drilling on location.... could not attach the drill to the part, but sure could attach to a steel plate and clamp part to the plate.... with annular cutters, you have the 'slug' in the hole, when you cut through, the slug will prevent the cutter from cutting what is underneath..... so you do not need a hole in your 'drill press' plate for the cutter to go through .....the slug just rubs on the plate....pretty cool huh... us old geezers are lazy and find the easiest way to get something done...Paul

Hi Lyle, Could you machine an adapter for the larger annular cutters to use that 3/8-24 adapter? Stay safe.

[@emeltea33]

I consider these off and on. Seems you could make a metal box to mount to.

You just taught me something. These are ONE TOUCH shanks but kinda hard to find. I am thinking of buying this machine but I need a 1-7/8" bit and Vevor doesn't offer that. Might have to mill a Weldon shank to fit this if that is possible??

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@OleGramps53]

That's a reasonable price for the machine. I've seen higher on competitors machines.

Thank you for pointing out that annular cutters require lot of coolant because I just watched two other video reviews where they drilled test holes with nearly no coolant, it was making me cringe just watching I only own two annular cutters and they are both universal shank, they have the three point ball bearing retention mechanism of the quick fit system as well the two flats of the Weldon shank system - a determined person could try and grind the quick shank system onto your Weldon shank cutters

As for the manuals - I can't speak for ALL the manufacturers, but its seems as if they just don't care. I've bought a few things (ok, a LOT of things!) over the years directly from the manufacturer. After contacting them and offering to do an english to english translation (cough) for free, or in trade for some more product, I was usually told that "its fine the way it is"! :/

[@mrpete222]

That’s saddens me

Is the shank on that drill known as the one touch Nitto?

[@alanswanson1952]

I bought the cheaper 1300 watt one for $140. The main drawback on it is it is not variable speed like that one. I wonder if I can use a router speed controller or if that will burn up the motor.

I have seen some very exiting box openings from that Canadian.

[@bheckel1]

you can clamp 3/8 steel to anything and drill. stainless, aluminum. I do it all the time. I use these things every day.

Left and right spin ?

[@gabewhisen3446]

I have one it works well at least on the home shop

[@robertlong9029]

Are the bits more expensive and hard to find? I hate when tool makers try to force me to use their special accessories

[@PeterWMeek]

Using that 3/16" threaded chuck adapter you could make an adapter to use those Weldon-shanked cutters. (Assuming this machine has the torque to drive them.)

[@mrpete222]

I hope to do that someday
