Magnetic Drill Press, 500/250 RPM, 1.25 In

This drill is one of my absolute favorites. The Mag Base makes it very capable without requiring this level of precision when you first place it, despite it being rather heavy at just over 70 pounds. Because we have a job shop, I needed this drill to perform a variety of tasks, including drilling large holes with a standard twist drill. MSC advised me to use a Jacobs Premium drill chuck, so I know I shouldn't blame the chuck itself, however I verified the chuck with indicators before I installed it on my Milwaukee 4208 Mag drill the end of my 1/2" - 2" rod is coming up shorter. The 5 inch long twist drill was being operated. There is a break of 30 thousandths of an inch (30 thousandths of an inch). As a result of straightening the drill, I found that my chuck surface was level. It was out of round by 018" so I removed the chuck and adapting sleeve from the motor spindle to check if the spindle turned true to center. To my surprise, the spindle did turn true to center. There is a deviation of 002" (2 thousandths). Trying to imagine how a brand new drill could have a spindle that was not absolutely true was beyond my comprehension. When I put a 9" long 7/8" twist drill in my chuck, the end of the drill was under an eighth of an inch After I called Milwaukee to inform them of the error, they expressed the same surprise. They informed me to go to my local authorized repair shop, which is about an hour away from my house. The technician said he had never seen something like this before, and it could take a week to repair it. When I told him my problem, he had the same reaction as my own, "Never in my days have I ever seen anything like this. " Once I had given him my name and phone number he thanked me and I left. It was four hours later that the repair man had gotten in touch with me and said that my drill was in fact fault-free. Apparently, after talking to a different tech support rep than I had earlier that same day, he heard that a run-in repair was scheduled I've just outgrown it. Their factory tolerance of . 002" was acceptable, and their tolerance of a spindle run out of compliance was acceptable I've just outgrown it. The number 6! (An inch and a half! It does not matter if you drill an accurate hole in Milwaukee. Iron workers may not care much about a drill bit walking around an inch or a sixteenth of an inch, but in my life, I find it absurd. In the case of a spindle, . 002" is not much, but compound that error by an 11" twist drill, and you'll run into trouble. It is still possible to make it very accurate by grinding the spindle out and chrome the adapter, and grinding the adapter down to match the bore, but I wanted to make sure I let you all know this may be an issue if you're counting on it being extremely accurate. Most people won't care about it, but if I encounter a problem, I'm sure another machinist somewhere will appreciate knowing what to expect beforehand.
Outside of this spindle run, I understand that nothing else is required. We have a problem with the drill. It is a As for the drill itself, I absolutely love it and it's served me well ever since I got it. I am confident it will continue to serve me well. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter It's a great feeling!.

If it is placed in the right spot, it does some fantastic In a difficult position, it can be a challenge to position it. A large hole saw can be used with a speed of as low as 5 rpm and with a torque unlike any other. There is no better feedback control available than the feedback speed control. After a dozen holes, I used a bimetal hole saw to drill 5 inch holes through half-inch steel with the rig positioned vertically, and the saw was still sharp. Coolant was used, but if I used a hole saw hand held after one hole, it would be toast. A stripped head bolt hole in the block of an antique engine was repaired with helicoils by aligning the drill with the right side up and then turning the whole assembly upside down so no chips got The magnet remained on the cast iron block without an additional plate since I used the drill both to drill and to tap The helicoils on the headbolt holes worked so well that I installed them on every headbolt. Despite the fact that these are two of its main features, its size and weight are two of its drawbacks.
