VEVOR Magnetic Drill, 1450W 2" Boring Diameter, 12800N Portable Electric Mag Drill Press, with Variable Speed, 800 RPM Drilling Machine for any Surface Home Improvement Industry Railway

I bought this to drill holes in the chassis of my off road truck to mount brackets. 1/4” thick steel and it had no problem making a perfect hole. I highly recommend this drill. Use your common sense when operating this equipment and you have no issues. Some reviewers very critical of the lack of an interlock but if you take your time and look at what you’re doing it’s not a problem. Great purchase and very useful tool.

I just received this drill today, so I can't speak to longevity. That said, if longevity was a huge priority on this I would expect to pay $1,600 or more and this suits my budget MUCH better. I will say that the drill is VERY solid construction (much better than expected) and yet operation is still very smooth. I've several times used a very popular brand seen on YT all the time and that one has excessive wiggle and rocking on the vertical track, but this Vevor one has none of that. Very nice. The weldon socket fits the tools very well, i.e. not loose - this one is very concentric in that regard. Both boring tools and even the drill chuck ran very true and I could not detect any runout at all by naked eye, so is much better than most tools of this type that I've used. Whether that's luck or something else, I'm very happy about this. The electronic speed controller takes a second or so to catch up with itself if you push it enough to slow it down (not what you'd normally do), but that's typical of electronic controllers and I prefer this type to primitive "get what you set" variable speed. Speed range is VERY useful (pretty much slows to zero) and reversing will come in handy. All the switches and knobs feel smooth and solid. There IS a magnet/motor interlock!! Thus you can't start the motor if you forget to switch on the magnet first. Also, if you accidentally switch off the magnet while the motor is spinning, it switches the motor off automatically. Important safety feature! Surprised NONE of the online info on the drill notes this fact. The drill is GOOD, but this item's listing on their website needs help. The features are very nice. The only thing I wish it had was a quill lock since gravity keeps wanting to lower it constantly making it awkward for changing tools and such. It's not terrible, just a bit annoying. Mine did NOT come with the "quick change" tool collar as the pictures show, but I'm actually glad about that because the typical set screw arrangement this one came with is simple and reliable. I don't change tools on mag drills often enough to need quick change anyway. So technically a dropped feature, but for me that was kind of a relief since I was skeptical of the reliability of a quick-change collar thing. One less thing to go wrong. Another feature that is never mentioned is the positioning of the drill body along the vertical slide is quick and easily accessible. None of that disassembling stuff some mag drills have. Loosen a hex socket screw on the side, slip it up or down, and snug it back down. I like this. Long story short, I really like this drill so far. Drilled a few 1/2" holes today for something I'm building and really it worked great. Operation is very smooth, has plenty adequate power (both magnet and motor) and a pleasure to use. I like it! Photo shows the 1/2" jobber length drill chucked in the thing. Does this with about 3/4" to spare. Awesome.

This drill is a great deal, drills very well and has an extremely strong magnet. I have used it to drill through 1in plate down to 11ga. I have even drilled holes with it upside down, great product

Great product. I would definitely recommend but don't forget the extra bits! The Mag Drill Press cut through 1/4 steel plate with ease.

Why have I not gotten this drill earlier in my life? Used my new drill immediately with the best results possible. Easy to use, awesome results.

Nice for the price I would like to return it for one with variable speed, I did not know it was offered when I purchased it

Received this mag drill several days earlier than expected and put it to use right away. First thing I noticed was the lube tubing had a sharp kink it it got worse as the drill head was lowered to the work piece. Not that big a deal since I have some leftover 1/4\" tubing from another project. A second thing I noticed was the annular cutter pin did not have a spring to help push out the slug once the hole had been drilled. I didn't notice this at first, and when I placed the drill for the next hole the drill actually skipped due to the first slug still remaining in the bit. Once I figured that out, every other hole went smoothly. One complaint I noticed with others was the chuck adapter wouldn't fit into the Nitto quick disconnect. I didn't have this problem...the chuck adapter went in just fine and locked into place. All in all, very satisfied with the purchase right now...did what it should. You may need to tighten the three screws that secure the drill to the standard...mine were loose enough that once I inserted the three handles the drill's weight would cause the head to lower itself. I haven't tried the lube reservoir yet, so can't comment on that.

This mage base drill was the best deal since the Louisiana Purchase. It's variable speed and reversible. The speed control is the set point of a control loop so torque isn't sacrificed when running at slower speeds. The regulated slower speed is a huge feature that helps with cutter life, especially on larger sizes. It came with the tools needed to keep it in adjustment. I drilled 441 holes through 5/8" plate to make my fixture table plus a number of other holes since I bought it. There are some things that could be a bit better, but in terms of value for a home shop metal worker it almost can't be improved.

The capability and quality of this machine is Far more than I expected, especially for the price.

Works great, only flaw is the bits that come with it are definitely not the best. Used it to make a couple holes for a camper hold downs on my truck frame, perfect!! Besides the bits being sub standard, the only other thing that would make it better is a variable speed capability…..
