Customer Reviews for VEVOR 980W Magnetic Drill Press with 1-1/3 Inch (35mm) Boring Diameter Magnetic Drill Press Machine 2700 LBS Magnetic Force Magnetic Drilling System 680 RPM Portable Electric Magnetic Drill Press

The bits get stuck in the drive portion and I have to use vice grips and a hammer to remove them. The drill does have plenty of power for a 120 volt and it is a solid straight drive when drilling. I have used it to drill close to 50 holes thru 1" thick steel plate A36. Good deal for $330.00

I used this to drill forty-eight 9/16" holes in the flanges of W6-25 beams. It performed flawlessly. Precision set-up can be a bit fiddly but over-all I would recommend to anyone who is working on a tight budget.

Used this drill for the first time this week. Had to relocate a pintle hitch on log truck. This drill worked flawless and just as good as name brand drills. I drilled through 1” pintle plate without any trouble. I will be using it often so I hope it holds up but as of right now, very satisfied with it.

Well built very sturdy

I have drilled several 1/2 inch diameter holes horizontally thru 1/8 inch steel using an annular cutter bit. Much faster than a twist drill.

The mechanic who used it said it works Great. it does the job well for drilling on our frames.

Great unit, adjustable speed is a must, especially if you are running larger bits. Coolant bottle works well, i use Slugger brand. I dont like the stress on the electrical connector on the top of the drill motor, i will do something about that but not big deal. I recommend paying a little more for the adjustable speed over the units without. I never ran it on full speed, didnt need to save the bits. And this unit''s top speed is slower than the non adjustable ones. So its a no brainer.

This mag drill really worked for me. I needed the variable speed for line boring several bores on my bulldozer. I had to tighten up the ways on the drill when I first set it up. There is enough extra wire in the mag base to turn it 180 degrees to give more room from the drill centerline to the base. I have also used it with a Jacob’s chuck and twist drills and several annular cutters. I had no problems with the drill at all. It’s quite large and very powerful even at low speeds. I have used mag drills at work that costed thousands more than this and they didn’t even have variable speed.

I purchased this drill to add coolant holes in by big block Chevy. This drill made quick work of the project and even though the magnet only had about 30% contact area it held on like crazy. Very satisfied.

love it works great
