Watch Joshua De lisle AWCB walk you through the creation process with his welded and hand forged works of Art and Luxury items.

In this Episode we look at VEVOR's low cost mag drill (Magnetic rota broach) and build a custom stand to replace an old pillar drill.

I bought one of these drills. I was very impressed with it, for the cost. I used it to drill through my truck's frame. It was a double channel frame. It did great, I just had to back the cutter out once it cut through the first frame rail and clear out the slug then cut through the second frame rail.

I bought one of these last year to build a welding table. I drilled 166 16mm holes in the 12mm steel table top and the drill didn’t skip a beat. Brilliant bit if kit.

I have one of those and it's decent. I already had the annular cutters and a R8 adapter for my mill. It makes boring large holes a breeze.

I really like the new version even better but hate the metric annular cutters with the quick attach feature. All my cutters are the Weldon type hence you need an adapter to use them or buy all new cutters 🤨

The new version requires the magnetic to be turned on before the drill can be engaged and the double dove-tail allows the unit to be more compact and drill chuck friendly 😉

👍 fixing my workshop as we speak, looking forward to start making some metal art 😊 horse head is one of the first thing I will start with, plans are readycut out.

With a bit of fettling they make a really good tube notcher too.

A simple wiring fix would be to cut the input voltage wire to the spindle switch and splice that into the output voltage wire from the electro magnet switch. Wire nut and tape the old spindle wire for safety and now your spindle cannot operate without the magnet engaged

I have one. Its the new big 2" model with load sensing variable speed and reverse. Mine takes the NITTO Quick Connect
/Universal shank cutters. Its designed to drill holes & tap them quick

I need to drill 4 holes in my 4-post car ramps so that I can secure my (very old and heavy) vise in the corner for when I need to use it (space is at a premium); a mag drill purchase does seem excessive for the job, but I’m mighty tempted on the back of your excellent review.

As for the channel, I like pretty much all of your content; it would be great to see the workshop completed (appreciate funding may be preventing this), and I love the way you do things like creating a plasma table for peanuts by adapting other kit, or your reviews like the Rohr kit and the diy clean air-supply mask.

Your ‘mother is the necessity of all invention’ approach when lots of money is not a solution, is both humbling and very enlightening.

Of course, having skills by the bucket-load helps!

Well Joshua - that Mag drill sure is terrific value for money, there’s nothing available to touch it at the price you stated. The drill platform you constructed on the table leg was a master stroke, so simple in design, but just the job. Don’t ever doubt what you do or which direction of life’s paths your taking - with your excellent skills, vast knowledge and experience you will always come shining through. Looking forward to your future videos.

[bradwiebelhaus]

Nice idea for the drill stroke problem.

[williambennett]

Wow. I am new to your channel. Personable stuff. You got me hooked. Variety is the spice of life. I say, jazz it up, take the gear, review it but be honest. Your critique is valued. Now a days any manufacturer worth their salt will provide you product and not cramp your style. Take the path. You can always revert if it doesn't work out.

[chrisjames]

Thanks for the review. I’m going to make a welding table and figured I buy the steel and a mag drill and make it myself. It’s nearly the same amount to hire a mag drill for a weekend as to buy this one! I’m loving the reviews in between the normal content!

[bongdelonge]

Nice bit of kit. I'd consider putting a cover plate over the magnet switch to avoid accidentally disengaging the magnet. You can get these in a few sizes for push buttons and smaller switches.

[Edgunsuk]

It has been a long time since you forged anything old boy, i subscribed after the boot puller beetle video !

[LordOfTamarac]

I just used one of these on a project drilling 80 1/2” holes in squat racks at a university fitness center. I used the chuck and shortened some drills. I was using it out of orientation, on it’s side with the face with buttons parallel to the ground. I know that’s using it out of its intended orientation, but the magnet was not strong enough, it needed a clamp to stay in place. I’ve used high quality mag drills in that orientation and they’ve been fine with it. My advice going in is, it’s a budget tool, does a phenomenal job drilling straight down, but be kind in your expectations, considering the price point.

[vegoil]

Joshua, thanks for sharing. Love your stuff. I would love to see more of the smithing, but I think many of us also need to make things around the shop to become more useful, and I like your frugal but effective approach. I had been looking at Vevor’s hydraulic packs for a possible blacksmith press, but I don’t think they are 2-stage, bi-directional. If you could do a video about their line, or about making a press, I’d love it.

[andizell]

Personally I really like your new outro, the perfect combination of a little kick in the bum as well as being motivated to do something after watching another one of your videos! Regarding the way your videos and yourself are taking: I enjoy watching every video and you've got to do what brings more profit. In the long run I'd love to see some blacksmithing again or maybe some breath taking projects like the butterfly lanterns for the restaurant but I'll be watching every video and enjoy it for sure

[heardashot]

There's no doubt's here Josh, totally inspiring! Building your business and I am most certainly jumping on your coat tails! It's a hell of a ride so far!!! Keep up the great work!!! From the forge of the smooth road across the pond!!!!..☘️☘️

[sportflyer]

I’d have been very sceptical due to the price so good to hear you’re pleased with it. I was looking forward to the rest of the workshop building series 😏 but glad to see the first prize badge on the wall 😁

[fiddlergreen]

I just do welding as a hobby, but I love your videos on equipment. I learned a lot from them, from how you use them, but also I've really enjoyed the tips you say when reviewing them. Also love the modifications you do on your equipment that REALLY helped me be better at a hobby that I absolutely love doing. So I would personally love seeing more product reviews (as long as you keep them honest and provide tips and show mods you do). On the other hand I enjoy a lot of the other stuff you do. Maybe a mix of the two would be best?
