I have had Dewalt, Craftsman, Ryobi, Makita and Milwaukee drills. By far, the Milwaukee are the superior tool. I have never had a wobble with the drill except when I did not mount the bit correctly in the chuck. I have this exact set, use it everyday and the battery life, quality of the tool, weight, design are the best I have ever had. I hope this answers your question.

I've had mine for about 3 years and not noticed any problems like that. The hammer drill function is worth having. I haven't used the impact driver much but it has been a handy addition.

Not a great drill...got rid of mine...when applied lots of pressure the chuck jammed and I couldn't change drill bits. This drill is inexpensive for a reason!

Hi Frank, I purchased this as a gift for my husband and I had to purchased a chuck adapter that has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly. It works well for light drilling .I got both at Amazon and got a great deal .My uncle told me about this drill set,because he also has the same one .My husband love his set. So do I. They both won't leave the house with out theirs drill when working on their projects. I did get and extra battery that why you always have a charge. Frank I hope this was helpful.

i looked at my unit a few times to check for wobble,, I was satisfied that the wobble was negligible ,, i can't complain at all. My unit was purchased around 11/2013. Muy only complaint is the tendency of the 1/2 chuck to loosen it's grip on small bit, ie about 1/8 in size.

I have owned my drill for about a year and I get alot of use out of it. So far, I have not had any problems with bits coming out of the chuck. I have used both standard and the hex shaft bits for drilling holes and driving various size wood/deck screws. I have not done any metal work, except small sheet metal projects. Most of the things I do are privacy fences and playscapes, not any real heavy construction projects. Again, I have been very satisfied with the performance of my drill. By the way, I have noticed the batteries recharge quicker and seem to last a little longer than two other drills that I own.I hope this helps.

I Dug my hole deeper and wider than instucted. I eneded up using 15 bags (80LBS bags) of concrete. I also added more rebar than what came with the anchor. Also make sure to dig you hole in a bell shape. Under normal play, we do not notice any wobble. More aggressive play (dunking, hard bank shots) there is some, but barely noticable. If you alreay have your system set, this is probabaly not much help.

Yes, it's the random movement that keeps it from burning circular swirls into the surface you are working on. You will probably find that once you apply a bit of pressure against the surface you are working on, the wobble will seem more natural. If you are uncomfortable using it on a car or similar finish right away, test using it on the side of an appliance where you won't see any damage if there is, in fact, a problem with it.

The saw had a major manufacturing defect when purchased. I believe that there was arbor wobble. Whatever it was Makita repaired the saw at no charge but would not say what the problem was. As far as the Bosch, I'm not sure about the Bosch as far as space constraints.

There will almost certainly be a couple thousandths of an inch of runout (wobble) right out of the box. For small amounts like that, you can either just live with it or straighten it out. You can straighten by chucking up a rod and tapping with a hammer while watching a dial indicator (see YouTube for more details). The included chuck only goes down to 1/16" I think. But you can get any number of specialty chucks. Jacobs brand chucks are pretty much the standard. FYI, you need a Morse 2 tapered arbor for this press.

It looks like the LXT 248 has an updated driver. I too get a little wobble from the chuck head from the driver in my LXT 239 set like Soybomb said in their answer. But, it took fell about 15 feet off a ladder onto gravel which caused the problem. Otherwise, it still works fine. I just have to use a screw setter more often when I'm setting longer screws. I've never had a cut out occur from either of the drills.

Sounds like a bad bearing. The depth may cause an issue, but unlikely. Depending on material you are cutting, it may bog down with a 1 3/4 hp, but not wobble. I think adam brown hit it on the mark.. you got a dud. I cut 2" corian with it and it cuts like butter with no wobble what so ever.

u need to educate yourself on the types of tapers, Mortis & Jacobs. There is the taper that accepts the chuck & the other end of the spindle slides into the drill press. These may be listed in the drill press manual or on the spindle itself. Lots of help online about installing. Woodstock is also very helpful...it's not as hard as you think!!

the bit is just slightly larger than the size of screw you are drilling for. If you space is tight, your chuck will probably be your biggest issue

The chuck, which is a quick change socket, on the Bosch PS21-2A does not wobble much at all! I use the Bosch PS21-2A primarily for screws that are quite small and I have not stripped a head yet. As far as the run out, I have not drilled any holes and I would think that the run out would be heavily dependent on the drill bit that's being used. The Bosch PS21-2A came with a flathead screwdriver bit and a phillips head bit. In my applications so far, it's a little workhorse that gets the job done fast!

Bit works fine for me....I would suspect too deep a cut rather than the motor. Try several shallow cuts if you haven't tried this already.Note that I used a Porter Cable model 6912, which is 1 3/4 hp, same as the router power you used.Of course if the router vibrated before it touched wood then you have a balance problem. Unlikely.

The one I purchased was a gift for my grandson. My son assembled it with no problem and he did not need a drill. I suggest you call the manufacturer as it sounds like something might be amiss.

The wobble is a known issue with these saws. I fixed it by adding a piece of glide strip to the track. To be honest, I don't think the wobble hurts anything. I only fixed it because I obsess over dumb stuff like that. :-)
