Pro tip --->when you drill something with a fluted cutter(twist drill for example) on a drill press or this mag drill dont put oil on the peace you are drilling.Instead put it on the end of the flute near chuck.That way as drill spins oil goes down and lubricates the cutting lip.Way much better than squrting a puddle of oil that will never reach bottom of the hole due to burr that is created.

The tenon idea is pretty clever, so thanks for tossing that nugget into my mental toolbox. Makes me think that a bunch of scrap slugs from annular cutters could also be used to make rivets. Pretty sure that's not a new idea either though...

As always John - I love your lateral thinking for making round from square. 👍👏

I think this could make a pretty decent drill press for a small shop, like you said in the video. Hard to beat $200. Hopefully mike will give some updates on how the Mag Drill is doing after some use.

I could see this as a great addition to a welders truck. looks great to me

These mag drills are a great addition to the shop. They are way more efficient at drilling large holes. And you can make a variety of different jigs, stands ect... things like drilling holes in a welding table for clamps. And the holes are excellent finish.

we used the mag drills on the railroad..alot !..i was a blacksmith/ fabricator for CSX, 36 yrs.. thanks for sharing.. ....Black At Forge...

Thanks for the info. Was just looking into one of these today.

At the office, we have an older Milwaukee mag drill from when they were a USA company with tools made in the USA. Milwaukee is now a Chinese company, but they continue to make quality professional tools that I would recommend. I’ve been after an inexpensive mag drill for home use for many years. They have been single speed with a fairly high RPM that I feel is less then ideal for larger holes. I’ve almost pulled the trigger on a brand name drill several times, to get one with slow speed, but just couldn’t justify the price for limited use. I finally purchased this exact model of Vevor drill off eBay when I saw the price and that it had variable speed. Out of the box, it appears to be a great value for the money. I’m happy.

nice work, might check this out

Thanks for your honest feedback.

good tool review and I liked some of your ideas, thanks

It does not feel like an advertisement the way you handles these videos. I think you are sharing good information.

Thanks for trying to drill the anvil; was wondering about that!

Great review John!! Thank you!

I just welded up around the pritchel hole on the existing anvil. It's great.

Thanks for the review, I'd like to get a mag drill for my shop eventually. I really like that it is a variable speed - so many drills aren't and they spin too fast and eat up the drill bits.

😮. John very interesting and very informational video today. Thanks so much for this information. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.

Thanks for the gret review of the VEVOR MAG DRILL in today's video John. Looks like a great deal for the home owner's shop to keep expences down and get by . It can be a very useful addition to the shop. OLD DAWG DREAMING Fred.
