can this drill 1/2" in 1/2" steel?

If given an hour or so, maybe. If your working with steel and not light metal you either need a real drill press or a decent hand drill.

I Would say no. I bought this drill for wood and heavy kydex but i would say it dosent have enough power to drill half inch steel.

Will fit any drill as long as you have a 1/2" chuck for the larger bits in the kit.

The base of the two larger bits have a shank that will fit a 1/2 chuck. If thats what you got, than thats all it takes.

It will work fine with a 1/2 drill. I did about 3000 holes with my 1/2 cordless drill

Yes, it will, but I use a Milwaukee 1/2" chuck drill when cutting a large diameter hole because the 1/2" Milwaukee has a side-handle. If all you have is a 3/8" chuck drill, it will work.

if i was going to try i would get a separate set of just drill bits, anything steel alloy seems to get good ratings, and i would drill a hole before running these through something that thick, one inch would be about the max, since the bits are only a few inches long and the threading teeth start about a half inch in. Just keep in mind any expensive small drill bits will still break if you don't take your time working with metal.

Yeah. The size of your chuck is the upper limit of what size shaft it can handle. So that chuck can handle anything smaller than 1/2".

This drill has a keyed chuck which allows for bits from the smallest, up to 1/2" diameter. Most likely, any bit you normally use, will fit. A good, powerful tool!

Technically you could, but it would be a very slow drill as the turning speed is nowhere near that of a drill. Not recommended for drilling.

The shank is 2" on that model. I don't know if you can get it with a 2 1/2" shank or not.

Sure. I used a 3/8 inch cordless drill and did fine. However, depending on the size hole you are drilling be sure to use a drill with enough power. I had to take be careful not to push mine too hard as it started to overheat.

Will work fine with either size chuck. I prefer to use compact lightweight 3/8" cordless drills but as others have said, if the shank fits a 3/8" chuck, it'll certainly fit a 1/2" chuck.

It will but 1\4" drill bits with a 1\8th shank are expensive. Especially quality ones.

You might be able to drill 2 inch holes, but I would recommend a bigger rotary hammer for such a job.

Yes, it can, but it doesn't work as well as something that is a titanium bit.I bought this and it worked great Neiko® 10194A 3/8" Shank Titanium Step Drill Bit, 1/4' to 1-3/8' in 1/8' Increments |10 Steps

I use it in a 3/8 inch chuck so it should work in 1/2 inch. My 12 volt battery operated drill does not make many holes on one charge. I use a corded drill when near a source of power. Probably not the safest thing to do since ground is moist.

yes,,turn it up and take a practice run for depth penatration,,ive used this machine on 1/2 plate steel...works great and quiet.
