Is this drills does works good in drilling metal as well

Yes it does, with the correct bit. Just remember that it isn't a precision drill press, it's not meant for that kind of work. For normal metal work it is fine.

Absolutely....Just make sure a drill bit designed to drill metal is being used.

Excellent. I drill stainless steel 10mm diameter all the time for my boat. It is much smaller than my previous impact hammer drill, but concrete goes great as well.

Yes, this drill works just as well as a regular drill, although it's a bid larger and heavier. I've used my drill for drilling holes in wooden cabinets, with the use of a cobalt bit I've even drilled through 1/4" stainless steel. Make sure you get the correct hammer bit if you'll use it for masonry, all other bits will break and/or go dull immediately.

Yes, quite well - with the proper steel, but as a dedicated tool, I'd prefer a hammer drill. This is a brute of a drill however.

I am not sure about metal work. It certainly is strong enough but I would check with the manufacturer. They have a customer service line at Rikon that would most likely answer your question without doubt. You would have to purchase a chuck separately.

No. These bits have a carbide tip with diamond dust mixed into the carbide. They are designed for use in a hammer drill on concrete, block, brick, etc. For hard metal, you want a high speed drill marked "HSS" or titanium tips are better and you use cutting oil at the point of the drill while drilling. Get something like the Chicago Latrobe 150 Series High-Speed Steel Jobber Length Drill Bit Set with Metal Case, Black Oxide Finish, 118 Degree Conventional Point, Inch, 29-piece, 1/16" - 1/2" in 1/64" increments.

The holes on the end are harder to drill because the metal is overlapping. Buy good quality bits. You will use 1 Target bit per hole otherwise

WHy not, it is a very good drill.....I got it because I was tired of my kids (who won't touch pink) taking my tools. They don't touch this one. Yahoo!!

No!!! Meprolight uses a very hard metal ( why I don't know it's just a sight ) broke 3 drills drilling it I know how to drill , I'm a machinist by trade it's possible I got a bad batch of drills but none the less it's way too hard of a metal they could have used a aircraft aluminum and would have been just as good so to your answer no its not drilled .

yes it does, and works very well. just hold on to the drill tight if its thick

Yes, the things you see in the photo. The bits are not that good so I would recommend you get a few bits meant for manicuring from somewhere else. The drill itself is great for starters though.

It worked very good for me. No overheating. But please make sure you use a good bit. Look for some brands like Bosch, Metabo etc. Actually I beleve that bit is more important than drill.

This set is a drilbit tip with tapping feature after drill is started. All in one bit. Its good for drill/tap ping electrical panels and other lighter gauge metals. Not sure what your looking to do

Yes, normal metal is no problem for these bits. If you're going to be drilling into hardened steel, you will need bits made from high speed tool steel.

Yes, it's a great drill. Check the prices at the big box hardware stores. You will come back and order this one!

No. Dont listen to these other people. This drill is only good for wood and metal. Thats what the 20v means. For plastic you need at least a 40v drill. Its a much tougher material to drill in.

This is a light weight drill and it depends on the weight of the aluminum you want to drill so the answer is I really don't know.If you wanted to try I would suggest starting with a small bit and working up I hope this helps you

These drill bits should have no problem drilling into metal, however, the smaller sized bits are more likely to break if to much pressure is applied. That said, these bits are of the highest quality and are less likely to break than others on the market. You get what you pay for.
