will this ( when attached to my 3/8" drill ) drill steel plate without wobbling?

Hi D , I have a 3/8 Milwaukee Drill in my stand and I drill mostly wood ; but I wouldn't hesitate to drill steel at all , just keep in mind that it is not a $500.00 drill press ..It is just what I thought it would be , no it doesn't wobble it .. I love the thing .....Charley D.

As long as everything is bolted down tightly and the drill is secure, it should be alright. We use it for hardwoods. There is no wobbling for us. It is a great product.

It wobbles a little bit. It is just a drill support for your hobby shop / garage, when you need a hole decently vertical, but it's not as accurate as a press drill. In fact, many press drill have also some wobbling. Bottom line: For the garage, occasional hole in wood or metal with a better vertical than doing the hole by hand, yes. If you are really looking for accuracy and are aligning several pieces and you have to drill them separately, not quite. I'm happy myself with it, but my line of work falls in the first category (just vertical hole, not a lot of accuracy)

Yes it will drill without wobbling. Hold handle true and it will not wobble.

yes.....this drill has a lot of torque. I had no problems drilling 1/4" steel in my back yard repairing a fence.

I'll give it a try, 1.5" bit does seem a bit large for the radius on the corners of the plate. I have not received the lift yet so I'll wait till I get my hands on it. I have a 1.5" forstner bit so that should be no problem. Thanx for the info.

I use with a 3/8th inch drill. It does not fit perfectly. I think it would fit either one but has a square neck and I have to stop and tighten every now and then. I use it to mix clay and when it is working, it does a great job. Actually, don't think it fits either. I do like mine but wish it was a better fit.

It fits in my 1/2 inch craftsmen cordless nice i dont know if it will fit a 3/8 drill

It's like a regular drill bit, will fit a 3/8 inch drill, but I wouldn't buy it unless you are drilling into loose soil. The shaft will strip and then just spin around in the drill.

Does not appear to. Don't want to pry to hard and break mine. There is a bit of a gap between the bottom of the plate and the base it is attached to. Should make for relatively easy cleaning.

I only use the drill press four small holes however if a quarter inch bit will fit in the Chuck then I believe its strong enough to drill through the steel plate you're talking about.

It will mount as securely as the wall behind it allows for, and I have used anchors. No wobble and that is a good thing as the magnet is strong.

That would be very tight, I doubt it would. I drilled a 3/16 I think, and it worked very good.

It would 'work' but not optimally. A better choice for that type of wor would be a hammer drill.

Possibly, but I think you would have to add base plate to give a reference surface upon which to slide. I would also only use small bits as the motor does not have much torque.

The plate is made of stone, so as long as you have an appropriate drill and bit for stone or concrete, you should be okay.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

Assuming your metal door is hollow or wood core, yes is the answer. Most drill bits will drill through aluminum easily, and steel. I did not install the mount on mine since it (door) is thin steel over foam insulation and screws don't have enough to bit into to hold any weight. The kick plate is being held by screws and a cauking/glue product (Liquid Nails?) - can't remember name. Hope this helps.

Yes, I think so. We stack 2 dinner plates or 2-3 bowls/smaller plates in each opening and have had no issues with the spindles even feeling wobbly.

Yes, and it does not wabble, it's a solid swivel, meaning it will stay in the position you swivel it to.
