Customer Reviews for VEVOR SDT MD40 Heavy Duty Electric Magnetic Base 1100 W Drill Press 1-1/2 in. (40 mm) Magnetic drilling press 670 RPM with 12000N Magnet Force

Used this drill for the first time this week. Had to relocate a pintle hitch on log truck. This drill worked flawless and just as good as name brand drills. I drilled through 1” pintle plate without any trouble. I will be using it often so I hope it holds up but as of right now, very satisfied with it.

Well built very sturdy

I have drilled several 1/2 inch diameter holes horizontally thru 1/8 inch steel using an annular cutter bit. Much faster than a twist drill.

The mechanic who used it said it works Great. it does the job well for drilling on our frames.

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
