I bought one of these drills. I was very impressed with it, for the cost. I used it to drill through my truck's frame. It was a double channel frame. It did great, I just had to back the cutter out once it cut through the first frame rail and clear out the slug then cut through the second frame rail.

I bought one of these last year to build a welding table. I drilled 166 16mm holes in the 12mm steel table top and the drill didn’t skip a beat. Brilliant bit if kit.

I need to drill 4 holes in my 4-post car ramps so that I can secure my (very old and heavy) vise in the corner for when I need to use it (space is at a premium); a mag drill purchase does seem excessive for the job, but I’m mighty tempted on the back of your excellent review. As for the channel, I like pretty much all of your content; it would be great to see the workshop completed (appreciate funding may be preventing this), and I love the way you do things like creating a plasma table for peanuts by adapting other kit, or your reviews like the Rohr kit and the diy clean air-supply mask. Your ‘mother is the necessity of all invention’ approach when lots of money is not a solution, is both humbling and very enlightening. Of course, having skills by the bucket-load helps!

Well Joshua - that Mag drill sure is terrific value for money, there’s nothing available to touch it at the price you stated. The drill platform you constructed on the table leg was a master stroke, so simple in design, but just the job. Don’t ever doubt what you do or which direction of life’s paths your taking - with your excellent skills, vast knowledge and experience you will always come shining through. Looking forward to your future videos.

I have one of those and it's decent. I already had the annular cutters and a R8 adapter for my mill. It makes boring large holes a breeze. I really like the new version even better but hate the metric annular cutters with the quick attach feature. All my cutters are the Weldon type hence you need an adapter to use them or buy all new cutters 🤨 The new version requires the magnetic to be turned on before the drill can be engaged and the double dove-tail allows the unit to be more compact and drill chuck friendly 😉

A simple wiring fix would be to cut the input voltage wire to the spindle switch and splice that into the output voltage wire from the electro magnet switch. Wire nut and tape the old spindle wire for safety and now your spindle cannot operate without the magnet engaged

Wow. I am new to your channel. Personable stuff. You got me hooked. Variety is the spice of life. I say, jazz it up, take the gear, review it but be honest. Your critique is valued. Now a days any manufacturer worth their salt will provide you product and not cramp your style. Take the path. You can always revert if it doesn't work out.

Personally I really like your new outro, the perfect combination of a little kick in the bum as well as being motivated to do something after watching another one of your videos! Regarding the way your videos and yourself are taking: I enjoy watching every video and you've got to do what brings more profit. In the long run I'd love to see some blacksmithing again or maybe some breath taking projects like the butterfly lanterns for the restaurant but I'll be watching every video and enjoy it for sure

👍 fixing my workshop as we speak, looking forward to start making some metal art 😊 horse head is one of the first thing I will start with, plans are readycut out.

I have one. Its the new big 2" model with load sensing variable speed and reverse. Mine takes the NITTO Quick Connect /Universal shank cutters. Its designed to drill holes & tap them quick

Thanks for the review. I’m going to make a welding table and figured I buy the steel and a mag drill and make it myself. It’s nearly the same amount to hire a mag drill for a weekend as to buy this one! I’m loving the reviews in between the normal content!

Nice bit of kit. I'd consider putting a cover plate over the magnet switch to avoid accidentally disengaging the magnet. You can get these in a few sizes for push buttons and smaller switches.

I just used one of these on a project drilling 80 1/2” holes in squat racks at a university fitness center. I used the chuck and shortened some drills. I was using it out of orientation, on it’s side with the face with buttons parallel to the ground. I know that’s using it out of its intended orientation, but the magnet was not strong enough, it needed a clamp to stay in place. I’ve used high quality mag drills in that orientation and they’ve been fine with it. My advice going in is, it’s a budget tool, does a phenomenal job drilling straight down, but be kind in your expectations, considering the price point.

With a bit of fettling they make a really good tube notcher too.

There's no doubt's here Josh, totally inspiring! Building your business and I am most certainly jumping on your coat tails! It's a hell of a ride so far!!! Keep up the great work!!! From the forge of the smooth road across the pond!!!!..☘️☘️

It has been a long time since you forged anything old boy , i subscribed after the boot puller beetle video !

I just do welding as a hobby, but I love your videos on equipment. I learned a lot from them, from how you use them, but also I've really enjoyed the tips you say when reviewing them. Also love the modifications you do on your equipment that REALLY helped me be better at a hobby that I absolutely love doing. So I would personally love seeing more product reviews (as long as you keep them honest and provide tips and show mods you do). On the other hand I enjoy a lot of the other stuff you do. Maybe a mix of the two would be best?

Congratulations on your new tool /toy Joshua. Very beautiful review. Very well explained and information about this Mag still. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. 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 making. God bless.

I’d have been very sceptical due to the price so good to hear you’re pleased with it. I was looking forward to the rest of the workshop building series 😏 but glad to see the first prize badge on the wall 😁

Joshua, thanks for sharing. Love your stuff. I would love to see more of the smithing, but I think many of us also need to make things around the shop to become more useful, and I like your frugal but effective approach. I had been looking at Vevor’s hydraulic packs for a possible blacksmith press, but I don’t think they are 2-stage, bi-directional. If you could do a video about their line, or about making a press, I’d love it.

Nice idea for the drill stroke problem.

Even Colin Furze liked having the Mag Drill. If you're doing a lot of steel fabrication it makes a lot of sense and a good compliment to your punch.

the Hitachi one I have is wired the same way ,,, its crazy that theres no interlock on the switch , but its how it is , after loosing the alignment on a few tricky holes by hitting the wrong switch once or twice you soon learn .... coolant from a spray bottle makes a huge difference to the life of the broaches too ,,, I just use the water soluble cutting fluid from power band saws , works the very best

Loving all the directions you go in. I've loved your forging videos just a bit further away in skill right now. I bought that diode laser after seeing one actually work on your last video and it will be great for my shop. I mainly do CNC plasma art and am trained in design on the computer. Working with my hands is a new adventure and your videos have been helpful! Looking forward to more, and never give up keep on forging and be creative.

Enjoyed the review thanks and pleased to see the V2 mask is on it's way 👍 Never had one of these, probably don't actually need one but I'm quite tempted now! I think it can take the place of my cheap underpowered drill press too, hopefully. Although the price has gone up by around 30%. Interestingly, they are now shipping them with variable speed and the safety switch you suggested, at least in the US.

New subscriber! keep going! Awesome content! I love your closing lines.

Nice analysis. Thanks for a forthright opinion.

I bought one of the Vevor mag drills and then started looking at reviews. Kind of bass-ackwards I know but that is the way I usually work. Anyway, enjoyed your review and I'm looking forward to getting mine into operation.

‏my name Dr Taha thank you so much it's been useful I'm gonna buy you one like this I'm from Jordan middle East thank you so much again

What a bargain but with a couple of downsides. You make the best from what you can afford. If it were me, I would definitely be interested in the sponsorship in exchange for tool reviews. Why not? It's what most youtubers do. Go for it while you have the offer👍

I have/had one of these. Worked fine for a few months but randomly decided to let me switch the magnet off without stopping the motor automatically…. Nearly a very serious incident… it span round a few times (Wallace and grommet style) pulled the power cable from the back of the drill leaving live exposed wires but luckily knocked the trip switch. I replaced it with a rotobroch commando 40 for not much more money.

Joshua, have a few Vevor products and contemplated buying this mag drill, good unbiased review, cheers Oh by the way more no nonsense reviews would be helpful as Vevor to send you more gear 👴🏻👍

If Matt Berry ever need a voice double, he should call you!

My opinion of sponsors or gifts is that as long as it's relevant to your interests and you don't need to compromise on your beliefs, go for it.

Talented and Hilarious! Thanks brother.

Great review !👍👍

Having work in a shipyard. Mag drills are used all the time. One big safety issue. All way use a strap or safety chain to the drill. For whatever reason the power is cut off. That drill will fall. Even if you don't get hit, that expense drill bits is toast. After all who going to help drink all that beer? Cheers

Awesome video thank you Joshua

Those are only $299.99USD here across the pond from you. Sucha deal! They sure look usable from your test video. That and the $116.99 800kg hoist for material handling sure could make a dent in working with heavier items.

I think I would have used two square tubes for the table to make sure it cant rotate when drilling, and with a bolt on a corner It it might clamp more securely:) other than that a great video as always 😀 -Mads

I'd be really worried about using anything electrical from Vevor as it looks like none of their goods meet UK standards, I was trying to purchase a welder and sander and couldn't find any for sale then I came across the trading standards website, there's currently 46 items on manufacturers recall due to not being UK compliant due to bad earthing, poor plugs and some items when checked had extra wire soldered to the outside of fuses, so bypassing the actual fuse cutoff, there was also a further 60+ reports/items sold by them stopped by customs that were non compliant.

NO NO love these vids.. Do a mix this and the other works great...

I am looking forward to seeing some more forging video.

Thanks. I am looking at getting a magnetic drill press and this was an excellent video. Great price! But the fact that the magnet and drill switches are disassociated really bothers me. One question - On their site Vevor says, "Besides, our magnetic drill can only be used with hollow boring bits, not with annular bits." I cannot find an explanation of the diff on google. In what way are those bits that you used not annular bits?

Could you hook up one of those AC a motor controllers to make it variable speed would that be a option . I see them on line foe around $30 CDN

Question: With using chuck, most Mag drills are actually adjustable for the drill body to slide higher on the pinon track it is attached to (and many people with different Mag drills don't even realize they can do that). Usually there is a hex key nut that allows you to slide the drill motor up much higher, for use of the chuck and then you slide it down when using shorter annular cutters. Just wondering if you missed that feature on the unit where you wouldn't have to drill off the edge of the table surface.

I built a saddle over back of vice for mag drill

man you are one fucking hell of a good welder and those rounded corners with the angle grinder looked amazing was that done with a flapwheel?

Theyre site says "Max Boring Diameter: 0.5inch/13mm", do I understand this correctly, your drill bit can only be 13mm wide, or is that the max chuck size? How wide of a hole can you drill?

love your videos! Just subbed. What welder are you using here in this video?

Went through like butter.

That miracle bender is like rocking horse 5hit

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzfaq.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

Does the arbour of that mag drill not fit with a morse taper, all the ones I have used in the past and the one I purchased recently to make some railings have a morse taper that takes the rotabroach adapter. Mind you for the price difference if that one has not got a morse taper I could live it as mine cost £450 and I thought that was cheap as most were over a thousand.

The cutters last longer with the coolant lol

Nice video Joshua, how do you think those rotar broaches would get on with stainless drilling?

Could this be used with a 2 and 1/2 or 3-in diameter bit to drill through a shipping container wall they're only about a 16th thick? They are core ten steel and are eating up the hole saws.

What model is it. And how's it holding up if working it quite hard 😉

How much it?

MD40 11?

Do you have any videos on the miracle bender?

Hi i need this is there any India delarship only machine no need magnet base and please tell me the price

Every VEVOR product I have purchased is subpar. But you might have better luck.

Is this drill not £ 434 ? Still expensive

Firstly you have to pay the bills! .... Then you can afford to play with stuff. Some of the pieces and things you do are .... inspirational! Please do not stop! Having said that we are all in the real world and we all know how it goes. You see a shiny new toy and you want it. But (and it is a Big but) if you are clear what toys are tied in to what kind of promotion and you stay true to yourself all will be well! It will be tempting to take the new bit of kit that they give you (on condition of good revue) and to polish a turd. In my opinion that will be a mistake. You will end up saying two different bits of kit are the best and your credibility will be gone. Once it is gone you will never recover! A simple statement of weather you bought it yourself or if you are expected to do a revue on it ..... and crucially not lying about how good it is will be all that is needed. You may need to pass on some lucrative (in the short run) deals .... and posting about those is a good thing. It will enhance your credibility and it will refine the kit you get offered to revue! Showing how you would modify kit to make it better (or how it is not possible to do) is also a great thing!

VEVOR seems to have everything from candy floss making machines to gas forges.

wow ok i thought it would of cost more than £150.00 its a solid peace of kit

Be careful this drill has a safety hazard with the ground connection or something like this. Check in internet

I think it's become normalized for KZfaqrs to accept sponsorship offers as they grow, I think it's totally acceptable. Well, to a point, relevant sponsors seems like a better thing than random stuff like CBD oil or something 🤷‍♂

where is your 'this includes a paid promotion' tag ? ( Im a subscriber, not a troll - just think it's best being honest. if you get something for review that counts as a paid promotion unless you clearly state that it is going back, etc)

You said it was £150 its £264.99

£347

Just got one of these. It flexes WAY too much as soon as you put any torque on the hand wheel. Absolutely useless as is.

Be careful with this company, if the product arrives faulty your on your own, emails “undeliverable” phone “not taking calls”, web site, “server not found”, they exist to sell then disappear, buyer beware
