will this drill press be capable of drilling 1.5-2" diameter holes all the way through 2" thick white birch, using either a spade or hole saw bit?

I'd say yes, it will, given the stuff I've done with it. As with anything else, make sure to select an appropriate speed with the adjustable belt drive, and use good sharp bits.

I don't think I would trust a one-pass hole beyond 1 3/4", especially the hoke saw. The throw length of the drill bit is, at it's best, about 1 7/8". If you don't mind turning the piece over and going at it from both sides, it'll work just fine.

Never tried but if your spade bit is sharp and take your time with plunging I'm sure it will.I recently had to drill 3/8" plugs in oak with a very dull plug cutter, took my time plunging, got the job done.

The chuck only goes up to 1",but a bit for hole cutting should do it and go through 2"

Yes. Just enough depth of cut to handle 2" (really 1 1/2 inch) stock. This is not a powerful saw but it is extremely convenient. You won't frame a house with it but I use it frequently. It's my tool of choice for cutting 4'x8' sheet stock into manageable size pieces.

It will fit in any 1/2" drill. Should fit in a 3/8" too, but having the power of a 1/2" helps. If you are planning on boring holes to water trees and shrubs, I found that I did not need this to pre-drill hole for the tree root waterer as the stream of water made it's own hole.

It should, it comes with a number of quill adapters to fit the bulk of drill presses

Hi Joy - You need a 2 1/8 inch diameter hole saw which fits into any electric drill. It cuts easily through the material. Ask your hardware person to help you purchase the correct hole saw and its necessary parts.

Don't know why you would want to use a punch--the material is too thick. Very easy to drill holes through the bottom, though. Maybe 3/8" for your purposes.

The size of the 1/2" drill chuck is the limiting factor. Should easily accommodate a 1/2 drill.

I would not recommended it. At best it would be a SLOW process with lots of cutting oil. For that type of work you should get a full size drill press. About 1/8" is about all the steel I would try. This is designed more for small light metals and wood. The type of work jewelers, dental techs and crafter do.

I'm not familiar with that model of drill press, but I don't see why not as long as the bolt holes on the Rockwell aren't too big.

depends how hard the soil is and powerful your drill is?If your soil is soft and you're using and electric drill with a 1/2"chuck it will go as deep as the the lenght if the bit.

Yes. There is even a Youtube video showing a regular guy doing it. I don't own a drill press and I didn't want to mess it up. I tried to find a gunsmith to do it but they get all high and mighty when you ask them to work on an evil assault weapon. I took it to a machine shop to get the holes drilled. The plate is to be mounted 10mm (1cm) below and paralled to the top lip of the receiver.

I've been drilling through a 1/2 piece of birch hardwood when I use it and have had no problems. Hope this helps

Yes. With a hole saw, no problem. I use it everyday as an electrician and make 2 inch holes in plastic and metal, and sometime six in holes in foam ceiling tiles. The only thing stronger would probably be the milwaukee but its twice the price.

Yes, I would thing if you fine a Jacob chuck you can use large size bitts, or drivers. I wouldn't go above 1/4 in metal or 3/4" in wood. Another drill to look at is the Festool CSX drill kit, it gives you several options.. but The Bosch is a great go to drill. Battery will last and last.

I would make sure that I have a good set of stubby drill bits and lots of cutting oil to not burn the bit up. This press does not have variable speeds. It is only one speed.

I used this tool with a dremel and a ground down 1/4'' drill bit to fit a 1/8" chuck. I drilled over a 1000 holes in 1/4" and thicker leather. had no problems.

This cutter will cut a plug as long as the stock you're cutting into is deep. Probably limits out at 2 1/2" but i don't have it with me so i can't measure. Can go as far as the drive shaft. This cutter is very aggressive and suitable for a drill press. I use it on a hand drill but it maxes out the drill's capacity. One must use caution and keep hands clear and push hard against the material for initial bite to grab hold, and that it will. Very sharp . Nasty and effective. Be careful. Cuts straight plugs, not tapered! Good luck.
