Does it realy have true variable speed?

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 this is a variable-speed drill. I think some people wished there were more control at low speeds, but it works as other variable speed drills in my experience.

It's one speed, not variable. Don't know exact speed it seems similar to a belt sander range. BTW I love this machine. Its very precise and works perfectly.

I use a PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) to control the speed. How this works it will pulse 12v at a set interval, set by a dial, and that is how the fan speed is controlled. This is what i used to control the speed RioRand Upgraded RRCCM6NSPC 150W 6V 12V 24V Reversing Switch Adjustable DC Motor Speed Controller PWM BUT to truly answer your question no, by it's self it does not run at variable speeds.

It's variable speed, based upon how hard you pull the trigger. It's a professional grade too. Highly recommend it.

Definitely variable. Think of the speeds as gearing. Within that gearing you can control how fast or slow based on pull of the trigger from min to max allowed by that gearing.

Mine is definitely not variable speed. I don't know why you would need that feature in a grinder, though. This is the best 4 1/2" grinder I ever have used, and I've used some pricier ones.

Yes, most definitely variable speed. Not a 100% sure on the voltage question, but I think so- the tech specs might clear that one up.

It is full variable speed in each of the two speed levels. The switch on top of the unit just allows you to pick a slower or faster range of speeds.

No, It has no dedicated variable speed control. It does ramp up the speed gradually as you pull in the trigger, which is a nice feature, as it allows you to start a cut slowly without having the blade jump out of the material.

Yes it's it's variable speed just like a rc truck, it's a very capable boat we drive ours up rapids in small creeks.

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

Hey John, yes it does have varying speeds, however the way in which you adjust the speed is with an adjustable nut located on the cable that goes into the AWD box at the top of the push handle (you can see this on the picture, it's a chrome nut at the end of the cable). You can tighten this with your finger and it will increase the tension when engaging the self propel. When tightened as much as you can get it I would say it has top end speed of 5-6mph while still cutting efficiently. With the 190cc's this thing is a tank. I have 2 acres and big hill and this thing gets the job done without problem. Hope this helps.

I bought this to do countertops on my home and have to say it works great. The variable speed is the key. Hope this helps. Mike

Hello, It has Multi-Speed. if you need further information please let us know ADW69

It's variable speed. Ull love the power this thing has. It will snap bolt heads off. It has a dial to back off the tourqe . It's a very powerfull drill. It will also drill steel.

Yes, it can do variable speed. It's a brushed DC motor, so varying the current will vary the speed, & reversing the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation. One can use a traditional analog current controller, or a PWM current controller, which will be more efficient. - bc for AnaV
