Mophorn Magnetic Drill 980W Magnetic Core Drill 35mm Maximum Magnetic Force 10000N Electromagnetic Drill Depth 50mm Drilling System

My first impression of how this mag drill runs and how solidly it sticks to my table is that for $185 I paid, no one should expect absolute perfection. What you get is a basic electric motor and electromagnet in a magnetic drill press that solidly works. Therefore it is worth five stars.The one small known problem about the product as I received it, is that I did not get the annular cutter that is shown as included in the package, but instead a regular drill chuck with a Weldon 19mm adapter (European metric standard). It seems to be of very high quality, so I'm not too unhappy about that. One really cannot expect more for the price. However, the fixed 680 rpm speed of the drill is too high for using the twist drill bits that fit in the ordinary drill press style chuck of the kind I received. Twist drill bits require slower speeds to work.So, excuse my ignorance if that is the case, but the second issue is only possibly a problem, as I see it. I have not yet tested for that. It is about the metric vs imperial standard (Weldon 19mm vs 3/4" shank). It seems that the drill takes Weldon 19mm shanks, so do the 3/4" shank annular bits sold on Amazon here in the US properly fit in the drill? I will certainly test that and will update here as I find out.

This unit has lots of power and the company does make a great product. In hindsight this unit operates at 500 plus rpm which is not as good as the other unit they sell which operates at 300 rpm. I told my friend about this and he bought the one that they sell which is as good as mine but operates at the slower speed for cutting metal. Now he can use mine for the smaller holes and i can use his for the larger holes. the larger the hole the slower the speed. In all cases you must use lots of cutting fluid to keep drill bit sharp and cooled. The bonus mine has is a 400 dollar annular drill bit set which is not cheap and as long as you use cutting fluid will last a life time. Great purchase and it came exactly on the day they said it would come. Great buy.

I bought this to drill some 1/2 holes in two 25' W8x40 steel beams. The drill acted funny for the first 50 holes, then I broke two bits. Turns out that the securing screws (M6 x1.0 x25mm) holding the base nearest the drill motor were too short and had pulled out. So I bought two M6 x1.0 x35 screws at the local hardware store and now the drill is working really well. I am drilling 15mm holes at about 40 holes/hour with some clean up as I go. My point is, I needed a drill to build a 23ft bridge and this was much cheaper than having someone else do the steel work. But Just know that you may also need to know what to expect. The bits included with this drill set were actually pretty good quality. I got about 154 holes to go.

This is a very low quality unit overall. It's probably fine if you only need a few holes from time to time, but it won't work for any sort of production work. Build quality is mediocre. The magnetic base works fine and has a fair amount of holding power. The drill itself is quite loud. Exceeding my expectations, it successfully drilled 16 half inch holes in half inch steel quite handily, so I've given it two more stars.This unit comes with a drill chuck, but when the rack is raised completely there is only a couple of inches of clearance between the chuck and the work, so there is no way to actually use drill bits with it. A partial solution is to remove the drill and rack from the base and swap the rack end for end. To do this you must undo the locking collar on the pinion shaft, and remove the pinion/hand feed assembly out of the other side. Then you can slide the drill up and out. Remove the screws holding the drill to the slide part, then unscrew the rack gear from the slide and flip it upside down. Then flip the entire slide mount end for end and reattach it to the drill. If you use only the top 4 holes instead of 6, you can get enough height to handle any drill bit. Works quite well that way.
