Thanks very much, Jim, for showing us all about this Mag. Drill. Seems like a great kit. Actually, I just rented one from my dealer, and the guy who passed it out to me, knew even less than a 3 year old, so by you folks having this up here on TH-cam, has saved me a lot of time. Again, Thanks for this, and no need to apologize for not knowing every single point on this. You and I will soon know enough about this Drill to get the job done well.
Just a clarification, at 4:15 when you show the gear selection, the yellow dot indicates what gear the drill is in, so you actually showed shifting it from position 2 (high speed) into position 1 (low speed). It is a little counter-intuitive, as you think you're shifting "up" into "2nd gear".
The thumb screw that you mentioned locks the vertical slide down or just adds tension to it so when you turn the handle and raise the drill head, it doesn’t come back down when you let go of the handle. That’s why it was jerky when you rotated the handle.
Ok, new revelation on my Dewalt drill. Could not figure out why the bit would wander around when I tried to drill a 1/2” hole in steel. Turns out you need to use a “Pilot” with the bit. Just ordered that, so can’t say yet how much this will help things; but once again, Dewalt just sold me a tool I had virtually no knowledge about, without giving me ANY INFO on cutters, pilots, what kind of lube to buy, where I could even buy the lube, not a word.
Mag drills are made to magnetize to the workpiece that you're actually drilling. It's basically for when you need to take a drill press to the work. If you're just using regular twist drill bits to drill 1/2 or smaller holes you're better off just getting a regular drill press. Maybe next time before you purchase a tool you should learn how to use it properly.
It doesn’t require a pilot except the pilot pin that is there for nothing more than to show you where the exact center it doesn’t hold center for you. The magnet does that.
Just started looking into mag drills. The attachments in the carrier you show seem about complete, chuck, bits, etc. But when I go on line I have yet to find a site that shows all you have shown. It would be helpful if sellers listed what's in the box. Also, on Amazon there are a number of bad reviews - for what it is worth. Maybe operator errors, who knows, but reading them is interesting. If you have a follow up on drill's history from 2014 when you published the video it would be great. Thanks.
This magnetic drill's , are best use in large numbers of diameter 's of hole 's drilling! Fast as lightning of speed , to done the great jobs , with this ! I had saw , it , are solid's
Set mine up today. Doesn’t come with instructions, which is a cheap “Screw you” way to do things; the online instructions don’t tell you much. The oil reservoir really doesn’t work, so you’ll need to lube by hand. When the annular cutter bit wanders on the work piece (?) the magnet isn’t strong enough to hold the drill in place, resulting in a larger hole than you wanted. This is why Dewalt has always been the Nissan and Bosh has always been the Mercedes.
@@jvazquez53 I had zero problems with mine, my oiler worked fine and my holes were pretty damn exact. Judging by some of this guy's other comments, he bought a mag drill before knowing what it is was meant for or how to use it properly. Sounds to me more like operator error rather than a problem with the drill itself.
Most will not turn on unless the magnet is engaged. The one we had wouldn’t turn on unless it was on at least 1/4” thick material so sometimes we would have to put another piece of plate under the one we were cutting so the magnet had enough thickness to “stick” to, or it wouldn’t turn on.
why dont they make it with a stronger motor or what ever it take so it does not OVERLOAD not paying for that.... there tired of warrenty crap it warrented tool is not up to par.... this mag drill is not worthy of my hard earned money.. do a comparison side by side with others. still a good vid thanks
Yrs ago, we had Hougen in my shop. I had several, even one of the larger ones w/ a variable speed motor. There was no such thing as an 'overload' feature on those machines - even the Jancy's I had didn't have that. That definitely sucks and slows down production. The main problem that would occur w/ my help, was they'd break the cutters - there was never a problem of 'overloading'. Like you Anthony, I wouldn't buy this machine at all despite some of the advantageous features. Hougen, proven and reliable - that's where I'll spend my money!
There is one thing about that drill that concerns me, the up/down play on the drill chuck, to the point that I want one but I'm not 100% convinced this is a good choice. Got the drill, and the up/down play is nothing to worry about. it is very good but that thumb screw seems that no one knows what it is for. It does not say anything about it on the manual.
@@RICK8555 Variable speed would be nice but this is mostly meant for larger holes like 1/2 inch and up. Only time drill speed becomes really critical is if you're drilling very small holes. Besides this uses annular bits which don't need to remove a lot of material in the first place.

When there a power outage, your magnetic drill will fall off. Always use a strap when you are using it on vertival position.
Just bought this along with an external coolant pump and flex hose. So happy

Overload light is on ,what is the cause and what is the solution
Drill been out of use for a while

Melissa Hill Then I guess Milwaukee Tools, Miller Welds, Lincoln, Bosh all hold hands. DeWalt is cheap for a reason.

The pilot pin opens the flow of coolant and has a spring behind it, so it kicks the slug out when the hole is finished.
Can this drill a 1/8” hole .125 mm to be exact very smol hole
That 24 ring tone tho 👌🏽 😆
Where can we buy the drill bit? Please send a link
When you put the cutter in the arbor, you need to rotate it until the collar snaps down and locks. In the video, you didn't rotate it enough to lock.
since when is a 1/2" "more capacity" than 5/8th's or 3/4?
Wich type of oil use in this bottle
It appears the plastic thumb set screw may be tension for the slider raise/lower action.
Thanks for watching Ricky Mcgrath! We'll be playing more with the thumb screw and see if your suggestion works!

I'm in Tanzania how can i get a switch of this machine?
very nice
How to release overload

Wich liquid do i need to put in the bottle?
Cutting fluid (emulsified oil in water)
Can you get a pipe adapter?
This magnetic drill's , are best use in large numbers of diameter 's of hole 's drilling! Fast as lightning of speed , to done the great jobs , with this ! I had saw , it , are solid's
Bom.dia.como faço p comparar uma desta
Please tell me core drill diameter.
I absolutely cannot get the lubricant bottle to deliver coolant.

Good to know, I think I'll go with another brand.
@@jvazquez53 I think it comes down to money with these. More money equals a better cut.

Will the drill motor turn on with the magnet off or do you have to turn the magnet on to operate the drill motor?
Most will not turn on unless the magnet is engaged. The one we had wouldn’t turn on unless it was on at least 1/4” thick material so sometimes we would have to put another piece of plate under the one we were cutting so the magnet had enough thickness to “stick” to, or it wouldn’t turn on.
because these drills do not have reverse
Doesn't really need it though.
Dollar USA?
You should have been a shoe salesman!
"They use Watts instead of Amps"
Watt = Power
Ampere = Electric current.
Tell me then, what's the American unit for electric current?

Big mistake you did not use or mention the safety chain, it is shown wrapped in a plastic bag, unused..... Please do a retake with emphasis on safety!
safety chain is for whimps

Have you guys considered editing your videos before you post them? You would have gotten a lot more likes.
Haha some of our older videos could use a makeover, we're working on addressing that for sure ;)

does it have reverse?
no reverse and not a variable speed. only a 2 speed gear box.

Can this umit drill Dia 60mm?
