How do I use this specifically? I don't have any other RCBS equipment, nor do I have a variable speed drill press (its slowest speed is 760rpm). H...

I just use a cordless drill. It works great removing military crimp primer pockets. Worth every penny.

As slowly as you are able to finesse the trigger. The action on mine is smooth and even, not touchy, too hard or easy. I simple squeeze the trigger as I would when shooting and the drill will start to barely turn. It can be kept at that speed or squeeze a bit more and speed it up, whichever is needed. My drill will start, turn and continue to turn at speeds much lower than 200 RPM. I use this to make sure I have the bit on the mark; it is very handy.

are you using the right bit at the right speed? Is it sharp? If the motor was running prior to drilling, then you are doing something wrong. The only problem I've had with this drill press is the morse taper slipping.

The speed of rotation is not drived by the trigger like drill, the speed is drived by rotary switch so the polisher start slowly (not like grinder) and at the lowest speed it's around 600rpm

There are a lot of variables that have to be taken into account. The most important ones are the hardness of the item being drilled and the size of the bit being used. Generally speaking, the harder the stock and the larger the bit, the slower the speed. If you Google "drill press rpm chart", you will findcharts for most types of metal, wood, plastic, etc.

Yes that's correct. In my case this drill has no variable speed. If you read the product description carefully, you can see there: ,,variable speed 0-2500 rpm..." this words means, that you can regulate the speed of your drill as you wish while pressing the switch kay. But drill has only 2500 while pressing switch key, it regulates nothing.Otherwise the quality of this item is pretty good.

I use them on a single stage RCBS press, but can't say about a RCBS progressive. I believe the will.

I do not know what kind of drill press you have if it is like the small proxxon drill press you can just drill and tap it to the base. just remember to use a square when you do it, if you do really close work use an indicator to square it up, I am happy with my cross slide, I make little trains with mine.

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.

My experience with the drill press has been drilling light gauge brass. It struggles with that. It is suited for very light hobby work only in my opinion.

No, you will need to buy a 1/2 inch variable speed drill to use this machine. I also would reccommend that you use an electric type instead of a battery operated. I purchased a Ryobi, and it works fine.

Yes. As others have stated, the speed is controlled by the "trigger", the torque by the ring by the chuck. If you are drilling with a large Forstner or spade bit, be mindful of the power of the drill to hurt you should the drill snag in the hole.

My drill, which is Model HD21-2, does not have a lock button nor does it have a variable speed control on the trigger as shown in the photo in Amazon. Although a lock button may have been useful, I can see no value in a variable speed control in a drill with a 2 speed gear change.

Thanks for your answer, but I mentioned that I wanted to use it with a cordless drill, not in a drill press. If I hold the plastic lid down with my feet and go slow with the cordless drill, would it work. I don't want to spend much more for a quality 5" hole saw, and thought this tool would work, especially for adjusting hole size as needed.

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.)

You could use this to drill fine holes in plywood, the chuck clamps down to pretty much nothing, so in theory any drill but could be used. This is a rotary tool though, not a drill, so the torque is much lower (drills have a multi-stage gearbox to get high torque). Therefore you need to apply much more modest pressure to the bit when drilling and let the speed of the tool do the work.

Look up the "WonderMill Junior Drill Attachment" on YouTube - there are hundreds of video reviews done by people testing out that drill attachment. That should give you a good idea of how fast and how well it works.
