I'd really suggest going with the variable speed model. This particular one is 810 RPM, which is way too fast for high speed steel annular cutters in anything except aluminum. It's even too fast for carbide cutters larger than 13/16" in mild steel. If you're not drilling much, TapMagic or WD-40 is as good as anything, but it does get expensive. Anchorlube is a good choice, it's water based and flows well. A gallon jug from McMaster-Carr is $55, and will last a long time. Put it in a pump spray bottle and use the stream setting (not mist). You want to cool the cutter, lubricate the cutter, and also remove the chips. Most annular cutters like a moderate tool pressure. Too little and they're just getting hot, too much and you can't clear the chips. Of course, the power of the drill is a limitation at some point.

Use a mix of trans fluid and motor oil for cutting fluid will change the game

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Hey Brock, it may have been said in the comments already. Remember to “break the chip” in other words, lift and lower the cutting bit several times. This allows the chip to break. It also reduces the cutter heat as well as give it a squirt of cutting fluid when you raise up. This keeps the fluid from spraying everywhere if you spray when the chip is cutting. Hope that makes sense.

[@THETATERGUNSHOOTER]

Look into a cutting fluid called “Tap Magic”. Works great. I used it in a machine shop for everything. A little goes a long way.

[@patpozzuto4809]

The most dangerous thing about a Mag Drill is if the magnet releases it will break whatever limb it hits, I broke my wrist twice... but it was also a much higher unit than the one you are using.

[@anthonyg6924]

Your a smart guy, I'm surprised you missed the cutting fluid aspect at first. I'm glad you mentioned it. It's definitely important. Slowest speed possible keeps the heat down too and your bit sharper longer. Another good review Brock, thanks!

[@OldIronAcres]

"That Ain't Going NOWHERE!"

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Thanks Brock. I own a different cheap brand mag drill and it is invaluable around the farm. Glad you enjoy it. And you where right running cutting fluid does help but it is messy.

[@oakiewoodsman]

Excellent video Brock. It does seem as if a variable speed control would be a good option on a machine like this. Thanks for making me aware of an affordable option because they are indispensable when needed!

[@KoolAid5280]

I have the same, but variable speed, mag-drill and love it. I only use it periodically and use PB Blaster for the cutting fluid.

[@lwwarren]

Thanks for the code Brock! I got the $420 300rpm, 1680w model that supports bits up to 2" and it only cost $209 with the membership discount combined with your discount code. I also picked up both of the 2" bit sets. 19 bits plus the drill was $659 delivered. That is a monstrous value if it lasts a couple years!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I actually used mine about an hour ago.

[@tominsc9909]

You can get arbors for a standard drill press that accept annular cutters so you can use annular cutters in smaller pieces of metal without a mag drill.

[@tonywilliamitis2421]

Very well done review. Variable speed would be a must - that was too fast for that diameter cutter. I never thought about tripping a breaker and the drill falling - thanks!

[@Charles-lane277]

I use coolant regardless,because it really preserves the life of the tooling wether it's twist drills or annular cutters.

[@johngersna3263]

Good morning Brock. I know that I make a lot of comments about a lot of topics but I've drilled about a million holes in steel in my life. Mag drills are a great tool especially for bigger materials that would be hard or impossible to drill on a drill press. I've used many of them in my life. And it would be very difficult to drill something thick and heavy with a hand drill. I've also done that on many occasions. That being said, the only other accessory that you will need is a good cutting oil. Anytime that you're drilling steel you should keep some cutting oil near by. It will extend the life of your drill bits immeasurably. I hope that i spelled that right. P.S. I taught myself how to sharpen drill bits by eye and feel many years ago and I still have bits that are older than you are. 😁 Anyway, God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

[@dustdevl1043]

I didn't know these even existed until I saw Cody operate one on Wranglerstar. The bits are really cool.

[@phillyfathead]

I know you catch hell from the haters but I actually learn a lot from your product reviews, please keep up the good work!

[@Cowboy_Steve]

Howdy Brock! I love the smell of burning WD-40 in the morning 😁 Mag drills are great. I would love to have one for sure. But do I need a mag drill? Not really... but when I worked some light fabrication in the early 90's, the mag drills I used were just phenomenal. Really cool that you tested one - I was literally admiring one at HF the other day. Psychic! Thanks for sharing 🤠

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Thanks for chiming in cowboy

[@peteanderson1714]

WD40 is not a lube. WD stands for water displacement version 40

[@Hyggevaestedet]

Fed værktøj ville ønske jeg havde råd til en ❤

[@BAAMRanch]

You just keep buying the tools I've had on my shortlist!! This channel is gonna cost me thousands

[@altonhenderson4120]

Definitely use the cooling reservoir whenever possible . The “cutting fluid” will then flow through the center of the cutting tool . The spring loaded centering tool then functions as a valve that opens when it contacts the metal to be drilled. Doing this will extend the life of these expensive bits . Also always secure the drill with a strap when using out of position . And yes , metal thickness does determine magnetic hold down strength.

[@dissimulii]

watching you drill that first hole was like when my boss had his machinist buddy come to our shop to sharpen our dull bits. we had cans of 'em. we're a' woodworking' shop that does a lot of metal work. he was wondering how we smoked so many bits. i took him to the drill press and turned it on. i remember him saying something to the effect of "holy oh f*ck, wtf are you guys doing!? no, no, no, you can't drill a 3/4" hole through 1/2" steel at 3000rpm!"

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I enjoyed this. I kinda need me one of them.

[@LIFEISHARDSTUPID]

They sell cutting oil in a aerosol can or in bottles. Simple observation in the KZbin videos would have led you to that conclusion that cutting oil or fluid is whats recommended. WD-40 isn't really designed for lubrication.

[@christosvolikakis1523]

Let’s take 20% off that volume there, Broc 😂

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Volume? That’s usually controlled with two little buttons on the side. Or if you’re watching a television, you might have to use the remote control. Now, if it’s too quiet, there is nothing you can do about that

[@usairchairmanpfd2889]

You just can't beat a mag drill for real steel cutting, there is no substitute

[@user-dn2rt5lq4w]

Wd 40 is always a bad choice unless your trying to get a sticker off

[@shawndodd2066]

Slow n true and use cutting fluid

[@bruceweatherly5]

It is a vertices application, not Horizontal Brock😂

[@JeffGeorgalas]

Hey brother, I don't know if it's just the lighting in this video, or if you've actually got a grease smear on your forehead, but I couldn't stop staring at it! LOL. I see you looking at the camera, and all I can focus on is what I think is a big grease smudge on your forehead!!! 🙂

[@eosjoe565]

What is with this Vevor stuff? Recently it seems a while slew of YTers have sold their souls to shill for whatever crap Vevor sends them.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

My thought process was that if I had this, I could drill holes with it. That is about how complicated it gets. Is that shilling for something? Did I make any claims that it was better than any other mag drill? Did I really make any claims at all or did I just drill a hole?

[@Lazartankbeam]

Definitely wouldn’t use wd-40 . You just added more wear to your but .

[@Aussie_gamer.]

First

[@projectswithjw]

First. Todd is too slow 🤣

[@regsparkes6507]

First and foremost and to be honest with this review he should have said that Vevor is paying him to make this video. Come on now, be honest. Second, a lot of machinists will tell you that 810 rpm bit speed is WAY too fast for drilling, ESPECIALLY with these annular cutters.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Vevor does not pay me This is a cheap tool. Before you even order a tool like this, you know ahead of time that it’s not going to be as good Your expectation is not that it is as good as the expensive version. The price sets the framework for the comparison and that pretty much goes without saying I might use this once a month at the most, and it works perfectly. No reason to spend more for the average guy who isnt a machinist

[@regsparkes6507]

@@RockhillfarmYT As you say, Vevor does not actually PAY you, but have you returned this drill to them? If you have, then I will retract what I've said.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

@@regsparkes6507 I always disclose if the product is given to me. That is much different than being paid for a review

[@mybossisdrunk]

Junk. Only thing worse than spending a grand on a good tool is 400 on trash.
