This press has worked like a charm for my projects czcams.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-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!!
Years ago we had an old magnetic drill press in the welding shop at work and I must admit I loved the thing. Really handy. It was old and wasn't a big name brand but I never have found one like it to buy for myself. When I did start looking for one I also noticed they are all very expensive.
Thanks for sharing with us Mr. Pete! Vevor seems to be putting a lot of product in shops for review lately. It's nice to see them in experienced hands to demo and rate them so us hobbyists can make wise decisions. I am looking forward to the next video!
👍👍
I think you found your next career. That was a very interesting presentation. Maybe other tool companies would be interested. You still have good teaching skills.
That's a cool drill press, I can see that that could be very handy being portable like that.
Thanks to Vevor for gifting our favorite shop teacher with these tools.
When you drill holes in the next video, can you explain the fried bread twist drills? I’m very interested in this feature.
??
@@mrpete222 did you read the label on the side of the drill?
I have to wonder to what that is.
I would say you did an excellent job reviewing that product. I have seen the Vevor name appear several times lately among the you tube machine shop community. 😊
Mr. Pete is like a kid on Christmas morning!!!🎄😂
Me, just sitting here watching Mr. Pete and watching it rain and wishing Santa would bring me one, too!🤔
Thanks for sharing, Ken
😂lol
Good so far lets see the performance. Thank you for sharing the drill.
Great to see you back. You said you are 80. I am 76. I no longer set goals with times. I am building another sailboat and don't care how long it takes. Of course , I want to finish before I die but I am not in a hurry. I just have fun every day. I hope you get your 4 more years (maybe 10?). Thanks, Jim
Thank you very much, you are a wise man. It is great to have goals and projects. Some people have none of that. But they have a whiskey bottle.
Looking forward to part two. Seeing more of this brand lately. And the Chinglish manuals are for entertainment purposes only.
Howdy Mr. Pete .. We sell, rent, and service Mag
Drills. Fein and Evolution. This one comes in at Abt $600.00 less. They use them for mostly drilling I beams.. At least in our process.. Great video!
Nice video. Thank you. Looking forward to part two.
I love it even before seeing it work!!!
That is a really neat drill. I am sure you will enjoy playing with it. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
👍😄
Nice new toy lol.. Thanks for the video Mr. Pete.
God bless you and thanks for showing all of us the video much appreciated.
👍
Great video,mrpete.Thank you.
Great video Mr. Pete. That's really not a bad price as we've paid over $2.000 for the Milwaukee brand at work. They're used in the horizontal position a lot at work, drilling and tapping for mounting brackets and things that hang off stamping presses.
👍
Back in 1976 while setting up the stamping room at the Borg Warner radiator mfg plant in Coldwater, MIchigan our boss, Jeff Wagner, bought us a Milwaukee Magnetic Drill Press to help with installing the air guards on the big stamping and drawing presses.
It came with a chain for securing the drill in use. We were respectful of the 40 or so lbs that it weighed. We always secured the drill press just so if the power failed we didn't ride it to the ground. 😁😎
I never had the power fail, but it did come loose while I was up about 15 feet on a ladder.
We didn't expect any problems as we had drilled and tapped 6 machines for guarding by that time.
Little did we know but the Bliss 400 ton 4x8 platen mechanical press had a secret.
In the casting for the right front post of the press there was a void. Not structurally damaging as it was less than an inch deep.
Bliss filled the cavity with plastic body filler.
I had set the base of the drill on the edge of the void so that the back end of the magnet was over the void and the front was on about 3 inches of the actual casting.
Everything was fine until I started drilling. I no sooner started drilling when the drill dropped loose. Still running it dropped about 6 inches and was swinging on the chain. Fortunately, it didn't swing into me or the ladder.
After that we used a magnetic pick-up tool to verify that there was metal under the shiny green paint.
The Milwaukee is a 100 times better than the vevor. If you noticed in the first of the video he picked it up with one hand. You would not pick up a magnet Milwaukee with one hand. Also if you look up vevor in the better business bureau they have over 50 pages of complaints and a F rating which is the worst you can receive. The better business bureau stated they had contacted them and had no response. This is about the tenth channel where they are giving equipment away just to boost sales. And the bad thing is these guys is just playing right into there hands with all this free stuff.
@@anthonycash4609 from what I have seen the vevor stuff appears to be much of it made by the same people making harbor freight so it’s like mail order harbor freight.
After owning a large version of one of these, I wish they had rings or tie points for rope or straps to be used when they are horizontal or upside down in case the magnet releases or just positioning. There is the handle opening, but it needs two tie points instead of one. The balance changes when you move the second dovetail. It is a lot like a regular drill press where you can move the head up and down.
There's a slot behind the head, just above the base for passing a ratchet strap through. @ 2'52" into the video there's a shot of the side of the drill. Just above the yellow label is the slot to pass the ratchet strap through. A ratchet strap should always be used with vertical or overhead drilling to keep the machine in place in the event of a power failure.
Good review pete, Looking forward to part 2
One thing worth mentioning is that the magnet will hold securely on thick steel plate. However the thinner the metal the less power it will have to hold the unit down. Vevo seem to have some great value tools.
Just like shop class in school. The first part is in the classroom and the second part is in the shop.
Thanks for the memories Mr. Pete.

PS - Anybody here go to Crestview School in Ashland, Ohio and remember Mr. Knaus the shop teacher?
An excellent review video.
Merci pour vos explications ! Bonne journée
👍👍
Ohh yes this drill is wonderful I will buy it now
I have an old Milwaukee magnetic drill and it's the best drill press in my shop. I can use much larger drills than with my other press, 1 1/4 is the biggest I've successfully used. I've also tapped holes with it, 7/8 being the largest. The variable speed and high torque are probably it's best features, in my opinion. It does have it's down sides though. It's not terribly convenient, it's heavy, and if those magnets slip and your tool gets bound up you better watch out. You'll get clobbered by a 70 lb chunk of metal. I'm hoping to make an adapter that lets me mount a mt2 boring head in the chuck. Should be fun.
👍👍👍👍
I’ve bought a few of their products , so far so good
That has some features I wish my Hougen mag drill had.
Mr Pete, that style shank is from a company called Nitto Kohki, and is their "one touch adapter". Another company (and others, I'm sure) called Accusize, makes an adapter that is Nitto on the male and, and has a 3/4 Weldon female end to be able to use your other annular cutters. I bought mine from either ebay or Amazon for roughly $20 each shipped. I recently bought the same drill you unboxed, as well as the adapters. Hope this helps.
👍👍thanks
Very Impressive, that 2nd dovetail really makes a big difference.....wow, and the variable speed is great.....
the high speed is great for small twist drills....and the reversing would be great with tapping.....opps, did not realize the drill
chuck was screw on.....
The one that I have is the one that Grizzly sells, almost identical except that it uses standard Weldon shank cutters up to 2".. Very good machine for its size
When I worked construction we would rent a big mag base drill when needed. They were expensive to buy. Also very heavy.
One of my first jobs as a apprentice back in the 60s was to use a similar drill press to cut large holes in stamping presses . For three weeks I came home with rusty underwear .One hell of a learning curve !
lol
@@mrpete222 We have to.
Thought I was watching the wrong Chanel ,you must have to much spear time the bench is so clean . Thanks Dwayne NZ.
Oddly enough, I was drilling a hole in a magnetic base (for an indicator) when I stopped to watch this video. It was stripped out so I drilled out the old threads and added a threaded bushing. And how did I know how to take apart that mag base? It was because Mr. Pete showed us all how to disassemble a mag base in a previous video so thank you for that.
These cutters are just the best thing for large holes,I have never used them but sharpen them for a steel fabrication company using a homemade tool and cutter grinder,they are normally recommended to be sharpened on a specialised grinding machine,the company I sharpen for have always found them satisfactory and keep having me regrind them,if you look at the cutting face they have an unusual angle geometry which makes them cut so good,hope this might be of interest,thanks for a fantastic youtube channel,Harold
👍👍👍
maybe make an adapter to fit the bigger cutters, or with a square hole to fit taps
Mr. Pete thanks for the video! FYI you can get an adapter to go from the "Nitto-Kohki One-Touch" quick disconnect cutters of this model to Weldon Shank cutters, so you can use BOTH on your mag drill! As far as I am concerned, "Nitto-Kohki One-Touch" is REALLY cool, instead of futzing with Allen screws and wrenches. Weldon Shank is old technology like the old Bag Phone. But with the adapter you can have both until the "Nitto-Kohki One-Touch" becomes the norm. Thanks for all you do!
Good video and a pretty nice magnetic drill. It's a good size too. I did some quick calculations from the nameplate: by the wattage (1400W) and a 0.6 factor for the motor at 810 rpm it figures to be about 1-1/8 hp and a torque of 87.6 in-lbs of torque at 810 rpm. If a 1" (25.4mm) dia, 8 tooth cutter, 3/16" thick tooth was installed it could generate a circular cutting force of about 27lbs per tooth (more if the cutter dia is smaller).
Thanks
My guess is that you will find there will be low torque at low rpm.
Your guess is absolutely correct
@@mrpete222 I found with my Vevor that the low speed torque does bog down a drill, but the electronic speed control increases the torque and speed eventually. The speed control is very laggy, so that could benefit from a design upgrade. But if you spend some time with the drill you'll learn to compensate for the lag and just keep pokin' holes.
Did you notice the name plate says “fried bread twist drill”. The shape of annular cutters is similar to a popular street food, twisted fried bread
I did not, but you are the second person to mention it
"Fried dough" 😁
"Hollow drill diameter 50mm"
"Fried dough, twist drill diameter 3-16mm"
They're not talking about the Rotabroach's they're talking about regular twist drills looking like a baguette.
Gosh, it really does say fried dough twist drill!
It is surprising the language isn't quite right yet from china.
In the late 80's we were using excellent Japanese engines in our machines. The sticker near the coolant drain said: "Drain cooling water perfectly in cold season for preventing frozen."
They got over that.
Doggone it, now you guys have me thinking of Fet Kuchen!
Yummy fried bread.
Back in the late '80s I bought a Timex Sinclair clone for less than $20 if I remember correctly ( a 16 bit computer) . The manual that came with it I will never forget said "Don't be worry" , I don't remember what it was referring to, but I'll never forget that phrase!
Thanks again
I picked up a Vevor mag drill just a few weeks ago. It's a notch down in features I think because I have a standard Weldon shank and I'm happy that's the way it came. Mine also has variable speed (mandatory in my opinion) and reverse as well. There are other budget mag drills out there but at the moment, it seems like Vevor is nailing it. I like mine much better than the Evolution we have at work (I can't stand using that one honestly and it's rickety by comparison). Maybe it's no but so far this thing is working awesome for me.
Anyways, this is starting to sound like a shill comment. I just wanted to echo some positivity. Hopefully other brands will step up their game so we have even more choices. Thanks for the video.
👍👍👍
Thanks for another interesting review. Maybe the magnet smells like fried bread when it gets hot? The cutters with the quick release feature are the best part of this drill drill so don’t throw them away. A small tapping head might work if there’s room.
You mentioned not having an attached vise.
A lash up we made for the drill at Borg Warner was a 1/2" thick plate with a drill press vise bolted to it.
You want 1/2" to give enough metal for the magnet to get a good grip.
The weld shop clamped things to their welding bench and used the Milwaukee to run short production runs.
Great idea
I predict that you will be making one or more adapters to allow for reversing taps and maybe one to fit your larger annular cutters! That type drill is very handy!
That is a very sound prediction
I picked up an old B&D mag drill recently.
By the time I buy the parts it was missing and get it set up to drill I probably could have bought one of the Vevors.
I had actually been looking at them.
I wanted a model like yours with variable speed and reverse.
Some models don't have that, in this day and age I can't understand why.
It is just a matter of adding a switch and a potentiometer.
I assume someone makes a quick release to Weldon adapter so you could use your other bits?
I would like to see how they hold up in a mag drill.
Glad to see you get some free gear.
I have been interested in this unit and may still buy one in the future in spite of finding the vintage B&D.
It is 100 pounds once you hook the drill and the magnet together.
I have a bad back among other issues so I will not be sticking that to the frame of a truck to drill holes for a hitch for instance.
I have a hard time moving it arround without injuring myself to be honest.
You will give us the straight dope on this so I should be able to tell if it is worth buying.
Headed to the follow up video now!
Hi,Mr Pete,if you picked it up its pretty light weight.I have one I bough on flea bay that wights 80 pounds and has a 3/4 chuck.I can barely lift it let alone stick it up on a beam anymore.Only thing is you can't use long drills.
Hey Anthony, go easy on Mr. Pete your point about Milwaukee being much better is well taken. If it were up to me, we wouldn’t have anything from China coming into this country. having said that I’d be hard-pressed to pass up the Vevor at 1/3 the price of a Milwaukee, sure you get what you pay for but if I drill a half a dozen holes a year that would be a lot , so, I gladly accepted my Christmas present, and I am grateful for Mr. Pete’s tutorial on the vevor
I bought a vevor ice machine last summer. It has been a really good machine. They say it holds 44lbs but the thing probably only holds 8-10lbs it without help. Which is fine because that's about the thermal efficiency of my cooler. It seems to be a quality ice machine if you're looking for one I would recommend it. Not sure where they got 110lbs an hour more like 10lb every 6 hours with the thickness I have
It’s like my electric bicycle claims to have a 40 mile range. That would be 40 miles downhill with a 20 pound rider going with the wind. It actually has a range of 20 miles. Why do they lie?
@@mrpete222 that's a great question. I suppose it's so you think you're getting more for your money. Why pay double for the American made or brand name? You can pay half that for the other one that 'does the same thing' it's the most unfortunate of human qualities. When money is involved people will unfortunately do just about anything.
As soon as you said "the box is bullet proof!" - I had Project Farm flash in my face saying "We're going to test that!" And he whips out a 50 cal. :D
lol

I just got my Vevor mag drill in today. I ordered the 1300 watt version with reverse for tapping, mine has the 3/4 Weldon and 1/2-20 thread adapter for the chuck. I haven't tried the chuck out but it felt cheap and I went digging around in my chuck assortment and came up with a new looking American made Jacobs 33B 1/2" capacity with 1/2-20 thread mount that I will put on it.
My mag drill only came with two 40mm annular cutters so I will have to order a set for it. I tried it out on a piece of 5/16" A36 plate and it seem to do just fine as long as you give it a chance to cut without putting to much force and trying to push the cutter through like Bubba likes to do.
👍👍👍
I like it !!
Thank you
I had my eye on the Milwaukee brand, I think I will have to do more research on other brands known. Thanks for the video.
Yes, check them all out
The manuals that accompany HF products has steadily improved over the past dozen years. I suspect that the importer has been handling the editing, especially since the obligatory several pages of safety warnings are now included. I don't think that product safety concerns, litigation exposure or statutory compliance matters at all to the Chinese. Only to the importer.
Great analysis
13:51 - being supplied with Metric sized bits means that they are catering for >95% of the world population. That's a perfectly sound decision, considering the small and ever decreasing market for American sized holes.
But why did they put 3/4 size shanks on all the cutters? Both systems are here to stay. Get over it.
@@ellieprice363 Only 85%. Maybe you're using metric percentage. Does that go to eleven?
I've been looking at Vevor Mag Drills online and would most likely purchase a 220v version as I retired to the Philippines if I could get a good price. It seems sellers here mark up the prices here quite a bit compared to the U.S. which is problematic for me. It's not uncommon for a $200. unit in the U.S. to cost double or more... here. This makes it impossible for the average Filipino to afford tools like this as the average daily wage is around $10.... yes Ten U.S. dollars. I'll have to check to see if Vevor will sell me one directly so we can cut-out the middle men... I have even thought of possibly becoming a dealer for Vevor as I hear good things about their tools having watched reviews (like on Plasma Cutters, etc.) on several of their products. All that said.... Thumbs Up on the video and greatly looking forward to the follow-up part #2.
If I understand you correctly, the cutters use one touch side lock shanks, making them somewhat proprietary compared to the industry-standard Weldon shanks. Secondly, only a limited number of Metric sizes are available ( no fractional sizes). Lastly, Vevor sellls annular cutter sets which do not even fit in this magnetic drill press. It seems to me that without the ability to utilize standard cutters, and a limited selection of metric sizes, this device is of limited use.
hey, I had those stickers for VW's in my car, Putter Sparken ignition, , Gliimmer Blinken, headlights ,
Drizzel Flippen windshield wipers and choke was warmerchougher...
got them from JC Whitney, and when I gave people rides, they would always say those German sure have funny words.
GREAT REVIEW MR PETE, IS THAT QUICK ARBOR SOMETHING NEW, FIRST TIME SEEING IT ON A MAG DRILL.
Hey Mr Pete, I noticed your last couple videos have a watermark in the bottom right. Wondering what that's about
New computer new software still experimenting. Horrible learning curve for an old man.
@@mrpete222 Figured as much! Typically if it's a free software they will do stuff like put a watermark on your videos.
Maybe you can modify the rear inside face of the chuck, and the screw-in spindle. If you put a countersunk hole that fits a 1/4" flat head screw, and a matching 1/4-20 or 28 tapped hole in the screw-in spindle, then when you put the two together, you can add the flat head screw, and thereby lock the spindle into the chuck. Then if you want to separate the two again, it's just the simple act of removing the internal screw.
👍👍
They should include an adaptor to use standard annular cutters. Where do you buy additional annular cutters with the quick release? Did not see any on their site
Yes, I noticed that
@@mrpete222 an adaptor might be a good video for you
@@mrpete222 A series of adapters would be useful. One to take the 3/4" Weldon shank, another for the square shank of larger taps, etc. There's so much range in the height of the drill that the extra 1 1/2" or so that the adapters would add wouldn't interfere with the function of the drill.
Just wondering if a small 110V fan blowing across the base would aid in cooling the electro magnets ? Maybe 2 fans one on each side or maybe 3 another blowing towards the back .I think a set of heat sink fins that attached to each side with screws or some rare magnets might help.
Can it be reversed without shutting off? If it can it would be good for tapping. Years ago i drilled and tapped a couple hundred 3/8x16 holes in steel with a Milwaukee mag drill with reverse.
No, you have to stop the motor to put it in reverse. It did not work well for tapping. Watch the next video tomorrow.
Hmm, I am all about local production, but this seems surprisingly good quality, given where it's from.
I consider these off and on. Seems you could make a metal box to mount to.
Hi Lyle,
Could you machine an adapter for the larger annular cutters to use that 3/8-24 adapter? Stay safe.
Good Morning!
I have seen some very exiting box openings from that Canadian.
you can clamp 3/8 steel to anything and drill. stainless, aluminum. I do it all the time. I use these things every day.
👍👍
❤❤❤
It just seems weird to see a guy who owns every Starrett tool ever made reviewing a vevor tool. I own a few Vevor items and they are more than adequate for my needs and its great to see someone who is accustomed to fine tools be excited about an import. I know vevor tools wont be handed down as heirloom tools but thats okay, they suit a hobbyist very well and my kids can inherit the money I saved by buying them.
You are a very logical man
Hello Mrpete, Loved the video, I'm wondering if a logan lathe would be anygood for building model steam engines/locomotives. Its a logan 820 but somone removed the gear box. Thanks Jack
Yes, that would be good
What is with the Fried Dough twist drill diameter on the nameplate
Dear Lyle, you can take a steel plate, attach mag drills to it,
then use the area hanging from under the drill to use as a drill press table
to put your vice on...or just clamp the part to the plate.....
I had a lot. of 3x3x3/8 angle 4 inches long that needed drilling on location....
could not attach the drill to the part, but sure could attach to a steel plate
and clamp part to the plate....
with annular cutters, you have the 'slug' in the hole, when you cut through,
the slug will prevent the cutter from cutting what is underneath.....
so you do not need a hole in your 'drill press' plate for the cutter to
go through .....the slug just rubs on the plate....pretty cool huh...
us old geezers are lazy and find the easiest way to get something done...Paul
Can you make a short video where you try to lift and hold it horizontally by running a rope through the handle and hoisting it up an elevator shaft? Will it balance easily to drill a hole in the side of the shaft? (you should be hanging on a different rope)
I bought the cheaper 1300 watt one for $140. The main drawback on it is it is not variable speed like that one. I wonder if I can use a router speed controller or if that will burn up the motor.
wonder if you could McGiver this into a mini mill? with there mill table and a cut off I beam??? to increase the stand height
Absolutely not
Good Morning Mr Pete
The Tennessee Mole Man
👍🇺🇸🍊🍊🍊
😄
6:45...got to get that 'Fried Dough' twist drill attachment....
😁
Using that 3/16" threaded chuck adapter you could make an adapter to use those Weldon-shanked cutters. (Assuming this machine has the torque to drive them.)
I hope to do that someday
Mr Pete: I have the very same Vevor model mag drill. How do you adjust this mag drill to stay in the top position until you choose to lower it? Mine, with or without a bit /chuck falls to the lowest spindle position. Good review! thx
Actually, I only used
this machine one time. And that was to make the video. So I cannot answer your question, but I think there are gib adjustment screws?
@@mrpete222 thanks for your reply. I have tried different combinations of tightness on those gib screws but can't get the drill head to stay up.
That's a reasonable price for the machine. I've seen higher on competitors machines.
You just taught me something. These are ONE TOUCH shanks but kinda hard to find. I am thinking of buying this machine but I need a 1-7/8" bit and Vevor doesn't offer that. Might have to mill a Weldon shank to fit this if that is possible??
👍
Does Vevor offer replacement drill bits as they only seem to be available from them and no one else? You stated your Weldon bits do NOT fit that quick release shaft, so if you needed more bits or different size bits or replacement bits, can you purchase more from them? I don't see these particular quick release drill bits on their website.
I didn’t see them in their website. I won’t live long enough to need any replacements.
I have one it works well at least on the home shop
Horror Freight would be proud!
Thank you for pointing out that annular cutters require lot of coolant because I just watched two other video reviews where they drilled test holes with nearly no coolant, it was making me cringe just watching
I only own two annular cutters and they are both universal shank, they have the three point ball bearing retention mechanism of the quick fit system as well the two flats of the Weldon shank system - a determined person could try and grind the quick shank system onto your Weldon shank cutters
Is there a difference between there "Yellow" version of this drill vs their "Orange" version?
doesn’t it have a reverse threaded screw to mount the chuck?
Is the shank on that drill known as the one touch Nitto?
As for the manuals - I can't speak for ALL the manufacturers, but its seems as if they just don't care. I've bought a few things (ok, a LOT of things!) over the years directly from the manufacturer. After contacting them and offering to do an english to english translation (cough) for free, or in trade for some more product, I was usually told that "its fine the way it is"! :/
That’s saddens me
Smells good? Eau de 30wt with a hint of WD-40?
Euroboor makes an adapter to use Weldon shanks in these ( bit salty $100)
Don't know if it could survive our ham fisted Ironworkers, but on paper (or to be correct-CZcams) I like this one much better then ohigh buck Hougans. The double dove tail is the best thing since sliced bread on a portamag . The through coolant is WAY better the Hougan's too.
I do not like chicom anything but I'm betting you could get 2 of these and a bunch of cutter for the cost of a Hougan or a Milwaukee,. Hougan might be expensive but at least it's made in Michigan but just by looking at it I like the Vevor better. .
Yo Lyle, Looks like it's time to get out the dividing head and a piece of 4140 and make a Weldon to QD adapter.. A better Drill Chuck adapter with a JT taper and dixie up some Weldon to tap sleeves would be in order too.
L and R on the switch would be Left and Right hand rotation?
I know I’m stupid, but I would’ve put forward and reverse on the switch
Left and right spin ?
