Does this drill have variable speed
1142540
Yes it does. 2 speed / power ranges with a lever on the top. Variable within the ranges with the trigger.
1142541
Yes. It has two speed ranges, low and high, and within each range the speed varies according to how far you squeeze the trigger.

Yes and slow to fast in both directions depending on the strength you use to activate the drill.

I don't think so, there's another 5" Makita that does have variable speed - its more expensive.

Since it is variable speed it depends where you set the dial. At the lowest setting I estimate it around 500 rpm at the highest my guess is 3000. This is a very good tool for precise drilling which it what I use it for. I highly recommend it.

My husband, whom I bought the drill for, says torque is not related to speed, and he doesn't think this drill is fast enough or the battery long enough lasting to do much pumping. They are designed for short bursts, not continual running.

It is variable. Speed is adjusted with a small wheel on the body of the tool.

One speed. Don't let that deter you from this tool. After two years of using it I've found no need yet to have variable speed. I use it to cut screws, grind welds and with an added disk, sand wood VERY aggressively.

Actually has a.two speed. But its lithium ion and can drill anything. Best drill ive ever had. Doesnt go slow thats for sure. I bought the drill and impact driver searate so i have 3 batteries and 2 chargers. Ive even got it wet. Still works great

I don't own one, but I looked at this drill about two years ago. As I recall, it had all the bells and whistles, including variable speed and a reverse switch.(The drill was everything I wanted, but I didn't really need a new drill, so I didn't buy it.)

Yes, but not as nicely as other drills, because it is hard to control the variable speed.

It has reverse switch. It is single speed which depends on how hard you press the button like any other drill.... maybe this might be considered as 'variable'.

there is a selector switch on the top rear of the drill that gives you the 3 speeds. there is another selector switch above the trigger that gives you either drill or torque with a selector switch range from 1- 22

It has variable speed but bear in mind that the speed is controlled by the trigger. The closer you pull the trigger to the drill body, the faster the chuck will turn. However, If by "true", you mean is there a dial where you can set the exact speed ie. 300 rpm or 350 rpm then the answer is no. This feature is more likely found on rotary tools like Dremels, some drill presses and milling machines. I am not aware of any variable speed hand drills that have scales which would enable you to dial in exact speeds. If exact speed is a necessity, then you might want to research rotary tools, bench tools which have a dial that can be set or tools that have a digital display that tells you how fast the chuck is turning. Additionally, I don't know what materials you plan to drill. This drill's range is 0-550 rpm which may or may not be suitable for your intended purpose. I recommend that you study the numerous drill speed and feed guides available on the web to determine if this drill has the best speed range for your project or whether you need a drill with a higher rpm range. It may also be helpful to do a search of materials, material thicknesses, hole sizes, suggested bit lubricants and drill types to see what tradespeople and manufacturers recommended. You can easily ruin costly materials by drilling them at the wrong speed or quickly dull expensive drill bits by using the wrong bit for the material, exerting too much pressure on the bit or not using lubricant. Talk to people who have drilled the same or similar materials. Ask to see if they have any scrap that you can use for test purposes. There is no single drill suitable for all types of drilling. Br prepared to experiment before finally figuring out what works best for you.

yes it is variable speed. there is a rotary control switch at the end of the handle above the power cord

It has three speed on the top of the drill 1.2.3. It also can vary the speed by the pull of the trigger in each of those speeds. Then it also has clutch on it so it wont strip screws or bolts if it is set right

Yes this drill is reversible as well as variable speed. It's really just a great all around drill.

1/32,3/64,5/64,1/8not a great selection, but the drill is cheap enough to buy a good set of bits as well. Works fine, but no variable speed, just on or off. Hope that helped.
