The Vevor 980W Magnetic Drill Press is a powerful and affordable option for drilling holes in metal. It has a strong electromagnet that holds it securely to the work surface, and a 980W motor that can drill holes up to 35mm in diameter. While it may not be perfect, the reviewer found that it worked solidly and was well worth the price of $185.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Vevor 980W Magnetic Drill Press comes with a drill chuck and a Weldon 19mm adapter instead of the annular cutter that is pictured in some listings. This chuck allows you to use regular twist drill bits, but the drill’s speed of 680 rpm is too high for most of these bits. Twist drill bits need to be used at slower speeds to avoid damaging the bit or the material you are drilling.
The reviewer also wasn’t sure if the drill would accept 3/4″ shank annular bits, which is a common size here in the United States. They planned to test this out and update their review, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re considering buying this Vevor 980W Magnetic Drill Press. Overall, the Vevor 980W Magnetic Drill Press is a good value for the price, but it’s important to be aware of its limitations before you buy it. Read more…
