Will this drill a 2" diameter hole through 2" wood? If not, any suggestions on what will?

Yes. You could use a hole saw, which you can find a 2" version here. Given the depth at 2", these are made for doors which are typically not as deep so you may need to cut from one side until the hole saw bottoms out, back out the drill, and then cut from the other side. There should be a pilot hole on the other side to line up your cuts. You could also buy a 2" forstner style bit, search here, they are more expensive, but would drill all the way through.

It has a 1/2" capacity chuck, but depending on what material you're drilling into, capacity might be limited more by the motor than the chuck capacity. Most wood bits don't have larger shanks and if you try to fit a 3/4" metal bit, even with a step-down shank or a larger chuck, I don't think this would have enough power to even drill with it.

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.

The chuck opens up to a maximum diameter of 3/8-in. Your 1/2-in bit would have to have a reduced shank diameter. It is pretty easy to find larger bits with a 3/8-in shank diameter.

Yes, however check the chuck capacity. Using a larger diameter bit than you drill is rated for is a good way to burn it up. I've done it before, with caution.

It will drill any depth, very powerful drill. You will need a long carbide tipped drill bit, I used a 16 inch bit and had no trouble.

The short answer is yes. You can make pocket holes in any wood with this. I can't say that I have personally used it for that or for wood joints with 2x4s. I've only used it for 1 x 2's

Hello Jim B. I drilled a 3/4" hole in a scrap of pine. The tip of the half round goes in however, it would be unsatisfactory for what you are doing. You might think about the round file in this set.

Yes, this drill works just as well as a regular drill, although it's a bid larger and heavier. I've used my drill for drilling holes in wooden cabinets, with the use of a cobalt bit I've even drilled through 1/4" stainless steel. Make sure you get the correct hammer bit if you'll use it for masonry, all other bits will break and/or go dull immediately.

I don't know the exact size but it is now close to 2 inches it would be more like 3/4 inches however you could use a 2 inch hole saw and cut It 2 inches

it would work to drill holes but just depends on what you are drilling into, it turns pretty slow so it would take a while to drill a hole. It does not come with drill bits just screw tips. I would say if you are trying to drill holes larger than 1/4" then no or if you want to drill a number of holes then no.

A little hard to tell; bottom appears slightly thicker than sides and sides are probably close to 1/8"; bottom is probably less than 1/4" thick so I would think you could drill a hole in it.

Hi, Linda!Not sure if this will meet your needs, but I really haven't seen anything that would be better. If you have a way of holding the bead steady (perhaps a small vise) and a small enough bit, this should work. Because it is a hand drill, you can control the speed and depth of the hole. The only other suggestion I have might be a dremel tool. Note that the tool itself is smaller than a power drill, but not tiny. I think it will handle the smaller bits okay, though.

It will do 2" but remember it is not pipe thread so hooking onto it is an issue.

There is actually a HD Jig that you can use for wood thicker than 1 1/2" [http://www.amazon.com/Kreg-Tool-KJHD-Jig-Kit/dp/B00PCHKM3G/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qi;d=1418828708&sr;=8-29&keywords;=kreg+jig+hd]

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.

Yes this would cut a hole in your hardwood. Keep the drill speed slow and steady.
