Customer Reviews for VEVOR Mag Drill, 550RPM No-load Speed Electromagnetic Drill Press, 2.16" Depth 1.57" Dia Magnetic Core Drill, 2700LBS Boring Tool Drill Press, 1100W Drill Press, 6 PCS Power Magnetic Drill Presses

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.

It'll definitely be a plus for the drilling requirements that I'm going to have. I bought this magnetic grill to mount a bandsaw mill to a motorhome frame to stabilize the whole unit and plus the extend it to 30 ft regular grill wasn't going to do it I need a MAG drill and this is a was pretty sure the best one I can find for the money

Highly impressed with my new VEVOR Magnetic Drill. It’s a heavy duty, powerful fast drilling machine. The bits that are included with the drill are heavy duty, very sharp and easy to install. As I found out after receiving my order, if you are in need of more bits make sure that they are the Universal Shank and not the Weldon Shank.

no more than I use it it works very good but if i used it all the time it could have a little stroger magnet

Bought this mag drill to drill quite a few 1-1/4" diameter holes through 1/2" mild steel plate. So far the drill is doing really well and the annular cutters are holding up. I cant figure out how the coolant tank is supposed to feed into the shank of the drill, so I just hold the end of the tube right at the base of the cutter to keep it cool and lubricated. Looking back I might have benefitted from purchasing the variable speed version, but I have no regrets with this one.

Ok magnetic drill. Purchased to get me through a specific job. Used the drill chuck with hole saws. Got the job done but when backing the hole saw out of the work piece the quick release chuck came loose too often, dropping the drill chuck, adapter and hole saw. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the drill chuck adapter or the quick release mechanism. I haven't tried any of the boring bits that come with the drill press to see if their arbor adapter does the same thing. All of the boring bits with this machine are metric. I would have preferred to buy just the machine without the metric boring bits.
