Customer Reviews for VEVOR MD40 1-1/2 inch Electric Magnetic Drill Press Drilling Machine with 13PC 1" HSS Annular Cutter Set Precise Annular Cutter Kit Compact 2700 LBS Magnet Force

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

I've cut dozens of 1" holes using annular cutter. Works fine. A red one would be >$1,000 and even a blue one is >$600. Probably not going to build an aircraft carrier with it, but for the occasional user, it's great. The 1.5" cutter is all this machine wants, if you're going to cut a lot of holes >1", get the bigger one.

Perfect for the job

So far so good, week 2 of using this on a project. No real issues have arose, have some centering problems but I just loosen and retighten the Allen screws and good to go. Use plenty of lubricant. Noticed that the smaller anular bit was showing signs of overheating. Magnet has plenty of pull, used it on a 1/4" wall it held fine while cutting holes. For a person who will use this from time to time it's a good price point to get into a mag drill.

I mistakenly put a bad review for this seller....it was meant for another seller...

This is a good drill for the price. I did put loctite on the adjustment screws and the handle. I drilled 3 holes in my 1/2 in thick steel table with the bits that came with it and I'm extremely happy with this drill.

I disliked it did not come with a manual or directions.
