DEWALT DWE1622K 2-Speed Magnetic Drill Press, 2-Inch

Arrived as promised. East to set up and use. Two speed gear case works slick. Magnet is very strong. Very good quality.

Absolutely great tool. Tons of power, the gibs are nice and snug, all the parts fit...I've used a number of other mag drills. Most recently an Evolution and a Jancy Slugger. This is a better tool by far. To those who are complaining about wobble in the quick release either got a bad fit, have damaged/worn out cutters, or just have no idea what this tool is for. The new annular cutters I bought fit perfectly in the quick release and have very little runout. This is NOT a drill press or a milling machine. A few thousandths of runout is normal and acceptable in this kind of tool. That said, it drills VERY true. So far I've punched holes in a bunch of 1/4 and 3/8 mild plate, flange and web of a 10W22, and a bunch of smaller stuff. Absolutely zero complaints.Quick release handle is a great feature. By moving the drill body up on the slide you can use the included 1/2" chuck and NORMAL length twist drill bits. No need to buy a set of stubbies just for this tool. That's a big deal and a huge savings. Mag base grips well and holds the drill in any position. Travel on the powerhead is about 4" so plenty to drill holes in as thick a material as you have bits/cutters for.Overall I couldn't be happier. There are bigger/badder units out there but they are in the $2500 and up price range. For under a grand this is the one.

This tool saved my career.I drill a lot of holes.With a hand drill reaching out two to three feet and applying enough pressure to cut the hole was painful, and resulted in loss of precision.The first photo shows that there is no need to drill the pilot all the way through. Just enough to align the bit - time saver, wrist saver.The second photo shows the accuracy of the cut.The third photo shows a cut made without even a machinist punch. Some holes can be a little bit sloppy ;)It cut my production time in half.I don’t need to take a day off after drilling for a day.If you drill a lot of holes buy this tool.Talk your boss, spouse, parents, your self... into buying this tool.The price is high, but you get what you pay for.It’s a game changer.

This is an extremely good drill for the cost. I looked at many other makes and found the Dewalt drill the best drill for the price. I have drilled approximately 100, 1/2" to 1 1/4" holes with it so far and it has work perfectly! Yes, other drills have a few other handy options, but this works great for me in my shop on the farm.

Not the most powerful magnet, but otherwise perfect drill.It works perfectly and it is Dewaltly reliable.
