Machine Vevor mag drill 1100w

Maybe they mean you can't use the drill with twist drills ? It doesn't look like it would have enough travel to use a chuck/twist drill combo

I got a big mag drill from a board member. Fixed it up a bit.... I wish I could change it for Vevor mainly due to ... not being a man enough. I mean the thing works its just SOOO heavy. I mean it is very heavy. Like around 100 lbs or more.

Bit the bullet and ordered this drill. Will give a review once I get it and have the time to use it. Plan to use it to drill the clamp holes on my welding table top plate. I believe its 1/2 inch steel.

Yah that was me. I bought it sight unseen - I had no idea - it's a huge drill. That beast is making for ships or bridges. Have you managed to use it for anything Tom?

I was thinking of making a jig to hold a drill as a mag drill using the same approach as my lathe drill holder. Then adding those twist handle magnets another member posted on making. Let me go find links...

Milwaukee sells 2 mag drills that use the knob twist permanent magnet setup, one that is battery operated for the drill motor, one that is corded for the drill motor (i have the corded version), so not that crazy of an idea!

This is the thread on the drill fixture for the lathe. Make something similar to this - turn it 90 degrees - and make an up/down mechanism. and a clamping foot.

Drill fixture for lathe

Well we seem to have lost some content due to the server crash. The ones I’ve noticed we had a ELS thread, a C0636 & other 14x40 lathe thread and this thread to get going again. I’m working a drill fixture for lathes to allow holes offset from the Center axis. Pics….

Evolution tools sells a mag drill: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086FMLQXY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AEUMAGUQFSUWO&th=1

About $688 with shipping and taxes. Comes with a chuck too. Might be a good option.

Kbc has that evolution drill on sale for 681. Might be an excuse to fill the cart with other goodies to offset shipping

Be interesting to see how they feel about shipping something that heavy free.....

The drilling dia for annual cutters is 11/8" , the free shipping should apply as it under 50lbs, weight is close to 38lbs.

It might need a gusset. The slide is pretty crude just a plate sliding against a plate. Set the friction by setting the bolts and loctite them in On the back of the slide. Maybe a T-nut style slide in the slot would be better. I’m not sure I need a project.

Update on the Vevor mag drill. It said the estimate date for arrival was to be Sunday feb 19 to February 21. I thought ya right, but we will see. Sat in pending from Thursday till Monday. Then I got an email that it was sold out and they would not have more till Feb 28. Got a refund and now wait. Still says in stock on the website unless I go to where I had it on order then it’s out of stock as is the version with 11 cutters. Quick with the refund it seems. Never dealt with Vevor before this.

I seen that they are sold out, figured everyone and their grandma bought one.

Amazon prices are for vevor usually pretty close to the prices from vevor
