VEVOR Mag Drill Press, 1550W 2" Boring Diameter, 2922lbf Power Magnetic Drill, 500 PRM, 10-Speed, Electric Drilling Machine for Metal Surface, Industrial and Home Improvement

Works great. Easy to assemble. Magnet was strong and worked well. Drilled half inch plate quickly and with little effort. Would definitely recommend buying. Good value for the money. Fast shipper.

For the price, this is a great drill and has performed well!

The first unit I received was defective - The drill motor was not tight to the moving head which allowed it to rotate side to side approx 5 degrees. I could see how to fix it by removing the head and tightening some loose fasteners but didn't think that was my job so I returned it. The second unit was GREAT. No play; no alignment issues; no repairs required. This drill tears through metal like nobody's business. Use cutting oil or cooling fluid if you want your annular cutters to last. Makes drilling metal a breeze. The working unit deserves 5 stars but I was sent a unit that didn't deserve 2 stars.

First off, this drill is a price point. It's extremely affordable for what it does and compared to the competition. Yes, the parts are of baseline quality but the massive amount of TIME you will save drilling thick steel is insane! and time is money. I'm able to use a 1.5" annular cutter and drill a trailer ball through with proper coolant and pressure in approximately 1 minute with very minimal effort. I welded up a vise and frame for it and it also can double as a drill press and a portable drill press. I'm confident with moderate use and not overworking this drill that I will have it for a long time to come and it will make me money.

No reverse on this model (D8860). Older more common Weldon shank. Comes with a inexpensive twist drill chuck. This will have limited use for those ( even regular jobber bits) unless you can get more distance from the base. They need to sell some cooling fluid, hard to find less than a gallon,(which is half the price of the drill).This does not has a switch on the bottom to shut off if it comes loose ( metsl.too thin, dirty). Note: some other brands don't have one either. Mine was missing a 2.5mm hex wrench.. Wish there was on-board wrench storage. Went to the dollar store and got a small box for accessories.

Vevor has a number of similar mag drills listed on Amazon; this review is for the orange 1550W non reversible Weldon bit attachment and variable speed. The up and down travel is limited for use with a 3 jaw chuck and standard drill bits. Mine arrived without any damage which is surprising for how heavy it is. The runout with a dial indicator on the outside of the shaft was better than expected 0.002” overall, the inside diameter runout was the same. I managed to reduce the inner runout to 0.001” by polishing the bore with a Dremel and rubberized abrasive. I guess I was lucky the material needing removal was opposite one of the set screws. I marked the setscrew that needs to be tightened first to minimize runout.Then I raised the motor attachment points by removing the e clip on the handle pinion shaft and sliding the shaft toward the handle end to disengage the rack. It didn’t want to come apart until I loosened up the gibb adjustments. I turned the aluminum dovetail motor carrier part end for end, after making two new dowel pin counter bores. I also had to turn the rack around, requiring three new holes.Then the power cord to the motor was too short with the motor in the top position; but I really didn’t like the plastic wire gland sticking out the top and moved it to the side. I turned the black plastic top 1800 degrees and repositioned the gland where the cord would just clear the frame in the down position. The gland was m12 x 1.5 which is fairly standard and the plastic cover is thick enough to thread.Then I the power cord sticking out the back was less than optimal and moved it to the top of the control box as far back from the motor gland as I thought practical. The power cord gland is m15 x1.5 which isn’t common, but taps are available on Amazon. While I had the control box open I scraped the paint off the inside where a FET was screwed to the case and added some thermal paste to promote cooling.It is variable speed, but does not have a feedback circuit for constant RPM. It would be nice if it were reversible.The magnet didn’t get too warm while I was testing it for a couple of hours with it attached to an inch thick steel plate. It probably will get hotter on thin material; that is just the way electromagnets work. A vast improvement would be to make a variable magnet circuit to allow easy positioning. Now it’s all or nothing; I might dig into the schematic and see if I can make the magnet variable.

The machine is great! But I would like to tell Vevor that they mention nothing about what type of cutting oil goes in the "cooling well" that cools the bits.

The unit looked good when I pulled out of the box doesn't work not one bit of it after reading reviews on Google that seems to be a common thing as these things don't work out of the box or don't stay working waited all this time for it to get my project done and now I've got to order something else different brand for sure
